A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE LRC

The LRC is the hub of the school starting with the breakfast club, where students can come in, to read, take–out / return books, research for homework, play board games and socialise before the start of the school day. The bell rings, its form time, and the LRC is often used for Student Council Meetings, where nominated Students get together with our Deputy Head to discuss and plan various topics where the students voice their opinions and have their say.

During teaching periods, the LRC is used for independent learning as well as whole class learning, where classes, small groups and individuals come and use this space to research with books or computers to help them with their lesson. The LRC is a large area with different learning spaces, so often we have full classes as well as small groups and individuals.

Break time is fun time in the LRC, we have board games, card games, drawing and colouring, chitting and chatting and of course reading with our fabulous collection of fiction and non fiction books, comics and magazines.

The LRC has also appointed a number of Student Librarians, who have volunteered and undertaken training in order to help maintain the daily running of the LRC.

Lunchtime in the LRC is again fun time, with board games, card games, drawing and colouring, reading and socialising, this lunch club is on everyday except Thursdays, where there is a general knowledge quiz, the students get into teams, and battle it out to win prizes, with an even bigger prize for the lucky student who gets the weekly killer question right. (This question usually has to be researched, and correct answerers are picked out of a hat).
We also occasionally, for some thing different have Game challenges where staff and students take part in these friendly matches.

The LRC has a afterschool clubs most evenings 3 – 4pm, where any student can come along and join in the various activities, make new friends and have some fun. The activities are promoted throughout the school, and the students receive a refereshments when they attend.
