Whyteleafe School received recognition for its inspiring educational environment when it finished runner-up in a competition to find the country’s inspirational school library.
Whyteleafe was shortlisted alongside primary schools from Northumberland, West Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire in the competition organised by the School Library Association. Although it missed out on winning the top prize, school librarian Wilma Baugh did win a runner’s-up prize of a £100 voucher from award-winning writer and illustrator Chris Riddell at the ceremony at London’s Hotel Russell. The School Library Association said the award was in recognition of ‘showing inspiration, innovation, creativity and resourcefulness in design… what matters is not how big the library is, but what is achieved with the available resources.’ “This is something that everyone associated with the school can feel really proud,” said Whyteleafe head teacher Anthony Marsh. “The children’s physical environment can have a huge impact on their ability to learn, so such high-profile endorsement of what we’re doing at Whyteleafe is a sign that we’ve definitely made the right choices. "Mrs Baugh has worked brilliantly to build somewhere which makes learning a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved – and as a result we now have an extra £100 worth of books as well. In this situation, everyone wins”
