Department Overview
Horbury Academy’s Learning Resource Centre is a safe and welcoming learning environment for all our pupils to access before, during and after the Academy day. We aim to provide a positive influence, through support and guidance, to ensure that every student can access the necessary resources to enable them to achieve their full potential and reach their goals.
The Academy develops a love of reading in every pupil and we have over 4,000 books available for pupils to use through the day, as well as to borrow. The Learning Resource Centre provides an opportunity for pupils to read, research, study quietly, access computers and staff are always available to provide support when required.
During break and lunchtimes activities are available and competitions run throughout the year.
Many pupils use the facility after academy hours for enrichment activities, including homework groups and revision support. Mr Green, our Careers Advisor, can be found in the LRC weekly, on a Tuesday until 3.45pm to offer Wakefield Prospectus and Apprenticeship advice.
