The learning resource centre is a vibrant and popular space designed to support staff, students and governors at Long Field Academy. The LRC can accommodate up to 150 students at any one time. The learning resource centre features two computer suites, traditional library and flexible learning area that will enable pupils to study during break and lunchtimes, helping them to develop as independent learners.
