The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is open to all students:
- Monday – Friday 8am until 3.30pm
There is a comfortable area devoted to fiction where you can browse the books or just sit on a sofa and enjoy reading. We also have a good selection of revision guides to support learning and examination preparation in all subject areas.
There is access to laptops for the completion of homework and for personal study.
The LRC is a space used by the English Department on a weekly basis; Year 9 and 10’s have one lesson a week devoted to reading. In their lessons they read and quiz books using the Accelerated Reader programme. Also the lessons will focus on different genres of literature.
The LRC has a dedicated range of ‘Dyslexia Friendly’ books which are engaging texts which are presented in a way that benefits those with Dyslexia, EAL students and those that find reading difficult. These books have been incredibly popular with our Year 9 and 10 students.
The LRC offers a space for students at break and lunchtime who want a place to sit and read or enjoy some quiet space for socialising with friends.
The LRC is used each afternoon after the school day for homework club, where students are able to work with support to complete their homework or just to work in a quiet space.
