Reading and the LRC
TTC Reading Strategy:
At Tendring Technology College we are dedicated to ensuring that the Literacy skills of our pupils are a top priority. We want all students to be fluent readers with developed literacy skills which will allow them to not only succeed academically but in life beyond school. Our current priorities:
Implementing a universal three-stage approach to reading
Using assessment data to plan targeted literacy intervention
Future priorities:
Raise the profile of reading for pleasure
Closing the vocabulary gap through the explicit teaching of tier two and tier three vocabulary
Improve the quality of extended writing across the curriculum
LRC Key Information and Reminders:
Thorpe Campus library is located at the bottom of the English corridor in Landermere block. It is directed by Miss Davey, who is our Library Manager. We also have a team of ten Library Leaders, who are students in Year 7-9 who play an important role in the day-to-day running of the library.
You can explore the library catalogue at any time, at school or at home! Use the AccessIt tile on your RM Unify dashboard, or visit AccessIt and log in with your TTC email address and password.
Our rules:
Be polite, respectful and considerate to staff and other students, including Library Leaders.
The library is an active learning space and quiet voices need to be used to allow others to concentrate on their work.
All library resources must be checked out through the main desk before you leave the library.
Coats and bags - except for Chromebook cases - should be left neatly in the bag racks outside the library, not brought inside.
Students are not permitted to eat or drink in the library. Leave snacks, lunch and water bottles outside.
Place all rubbish in the bin and tuck chairs neatly under tables upon leaving the library so that the space is ready for others to use after you.
In line with the College ICT policy, use of the library computers for gaming, social media or Youtube is not permitted.
Due to a series of incidents of misbehaviour, all Year 9 students currently require a pass to access the library during break and lunch. Passes must be collected directly from Miss Davey each morning during morning registration (8:40-9am) and returned that day on arrival at the library.
