Welcome to the Learning Resource Centre! On these pages you'll find plenty of information about what goes on in the LRC, from how we can help students improve literacy skills, enjoy reading for fun, hints and tips on how to research effectively (both on the web and in the library), how to cite your references and ensuring that you do not plagiarise when writing your coursework. You can come in before school from 8.15, every break, lunch times if there isn't a club on and after school most days except when there are twilight French classes on Mondays and Thursdays. We also have some student librarians and 6th form students who help out on the counter at break and lunchtimes and process the stock.
