Learning Resource Centre (LRC)
The Learning
Resource Centre is a unique space within the school where pupils not only
have access to books, DVDs and computers but they can work in a quiet
area - and during break and lunchtime they can play board games or read
newspapers and magazines.
The LRC is also used for after school clubs and meetings, poetry
readings, book signings, training sessions and displays of student
art.
The LRC staff
aim to be friendly and helpful to staff and pupils alike. But they also
have to stand firm on the rules as outlined here - to maintain a calm
atmosphere for the benefit of everyone.
The Rules

coats are left on the shelves
outside
- Mobile
phones must be switched off before entering

- Years 7-11

times
- No food or
drink is allowed

schoolwork can be printed from the computers and all printouts must be
paid for
