Learning Resource Centre

The LRC is a whole school resource which aims to support all staff and students by:

• Supporting the curriculum

• Encouraging an enjoyment of books, reading and libraries
• Developing the reading habit
• Providing resources, guidance and accommodation for homework, study and revision tasks
• Supporting students’ leisure interest

Research, Information Literacy and Reading
All students receive a thorough induction to the library, which can be developed and reinforced through lessons which are timetabled by teaching staff. All year 7, 8 and 9 students have weekly library lessons where they are encouraged to read different genres and try new authors, and so further developing the reading habit. They are also taught research skills enabling them to become independent learners with the ability to use different media with confidence, crucial skills for success in all areas of the curriculum and, indeed, beyond school into their careers.
