The Learning Zone
Welcome to the Learning Zone
The Learning Zone is managed by Mrs Bird and assisted by Mrs Bedocs, who together advise and provide all members of the school with books, for information and relaxation, for all abilities.
The Learning Zone promotes national literacy, cultural and sporting events, and supports the curriculum with a range of lively displays. In addition, the Learning Zone hosts several themed weeks across the year, including Roald Dahl Week in September for Year 7s.
Opening Hours
We are open from 8.00am – 4.30pm Monday – Thursday and 8.00am – 3.30pm on Fridays.
Students are welcome to borrow, return and renew books. They are also invited to read, keep on top of homework or study before school, break, lunchtime and after school.
HRS Library Management System
Reading Cloud is our School’s Library Management System that enables students and staff to search for resources, educational websites, reserve books, write reviews and view accounts.
All Year 7 & 8 classes receive a thorough induction into how the Learning Zone works and fortnightly visits for reading and borrowing are an integral part of the English curriculum. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves by engaging with a wide range of genres. In addition, information and research skills are developed as part of the Learning Zone lessons, to help students research, collate and analyse information to avoid plagiarism.
