LRC

Our Library and Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is continuing to grow! We already provide a vast array of resources which are available throughout the school day to all our staff and students.

There is a wide variety of fiction titles (including audio books) that cover a wide range of reading abilities and tastes. The non-fiction section covers school stuff as well as hobbies and interests. We also provide a selection of magazine titles including computers, sports and science. We have four popular daily newspapers and the weekly Rugby Advertiser to keep up to date with news and current affairs.

We also have computers with internet access available for school use in accordance with the schools Acceptable Use Policy.

Students may use the LRC at breaks, lunchtimes, before and after school. All students need to do is produce their catering card (which also acts as their borrowing card) to gain admission.

Stuck for what to do after you leave school? Want to know about EMA or what you can do with your exam results? We have a drop in session each week with a representative from Connexions.

You can also check out the Integrated Youth Support Services – the ultimate hub for all your career and Further Education support.
