Our New Library!
Alex and Paul of Lucas Antics have created a magical new library space, designed and handcrafted to inspire a love of reading and imagination in our children. The library was officially opened in March at a special event attended by families, featuring a performance from the school choir. We were delighted to welcome Alex and Paul to see their work completed, along with guest author Fleur Hitchcock.
The design was shaped by our pupils, who shared their ideas about what a library should feel like—cosy corners, colourful characters, spaces to dream, and an atmosphere that felt welcoming and exciting. Alex and Paul brought these ideas to life with creativity and care, creating a library that feels like a story in itself. Rather than being installed in a day, the library grew over time. Working on site, Alex and Paul became part of our school community, engaging with pupils and even incorporating their ideas into the design.
A highlight is the handcrafted treehouse—a cosy, calming space for reading, reflection, and relaxation—created in response to children’s desire for snug, special places. The result is a truly enchanting, bespoke library that reflects the imagination and voices of our pupils.
