The Learning Resource Centre aims to be:
- a place where students can come during the day to learn, work and be educated.
- a place that can be used before school to prepare for the day, to finish something, to begin something, to be peaceful, to read.
- a place students can come at breaks and lunchtime to use a computer to finish work or research, to have a little peace and time alone to read a book or keep upto date with current affairs with our selection of daily newspapers.
- the central place for students can come to receive careers advice, assistance with college applications and interviews
- a place where students can join a club, get involved in projects that represent the Academy internally and externally and make new friends along the way.
The LRC welcomes everybody, all that we ask is you respect the rules we have in place so that the LRC can be enjoyed by all.
