LRC Newsletter Autumn/Winter 2019

Welcome to the Autumn/Winter edition of the LRC Newsletter, updating you with all that happened last year.

YEAR 7 LIBRARY INDUCTION LESSONS
During September all year 7 English classes visited the LRC for a Library Induction Lesson. Students were given information to help them use and get the most out of their LRC and its resources.

All students are welcome to join us in the LRC to study, revise, complete homework or read. We are open before School, breaks, lunchtimes and after school.
