The Cloud, EGA’s library, is situated on the top floor of the building with panoramic views of the city. With state of the art technology and a great collection of resources, the library is a peaceful place for students to work and relax, and for holding classes.
The Cloud is a popular place for students to spend time. There is open access before and after school, at break and lunchtimes, where students spend time reading, selecting books and completing homework and research for projects. During lesson time The Cloud is used for class bookings and individual study.
We have a large collection of fiction and young adult fiction books, revision guides, reference books, non-fiction.
There are tables for individual and group work and comfortable seating, and an interactive whiteboard for teaching and learning.The library is open before the start of school,during breaks and after school.
Author events, competitions and activities are a regular part of The Cloud’s calendar.
Access to Young Adult and Adult Fiction
Some fiction library books are restricted for borrowing to only Year 9 and above. This is due to themes and content in the novels that may be unsuitable for younger readers. There is a wide range of books available for Years 7 and 8, who have their own dedicated section in the library. This includes shorter novels and non-fiction. See the librarian if you need help making a choice.
Students can earn bookworm badges for various achievements in the library. See the librarian for more details.

EGA St Pancras Reading Map
The EGA St Pancras reading map is based on the London Underground map, with each colour coded line representing a different genre of fiction. It is based on the Loxford Reading Map, used at the Loxford School of Science and Technology. Students use the map to facilitate reading and choice of books, to broaden their reading in a particular genre.
