The Learning Hub

The Learning Hub is a wonderful multi-purpose space: we host a library of over 9000 books to aid with personal and academic growth; we have a newly updated computer suite with access to printing; the Learning Hub team facilitate tutoring and guided revision sessions as well as allowing time for independent study.

 

As the “hub” of the school, the space is also used to host various themed events throughout the year, all of which contribute to the culture of learning and development that Wood Green Academy is known for. A safe and inclusive space for all, the Learning Hub is open to all students before and after school as well as throughout the day via a regular rotation.

Facilities

  • ICT Facilities: 20 computers and a printing station
  • Over 9,000 books
  • Tutoring Space for independent or guided learning
  • Space to revise in a comfortable and constructive atmosphere

Books

With over 9,000 books to choose from, if a student believes they “don’t like reading”, then they simply haven’t spent enough time exploring the Learning Hub.

 

Our Library shelves are full of every kind of tale, adventure and mystery. From the mythical adventures of magic wielding creatures in fantasy realms, to the very real troubles and trials of teenagers that can be found in the contemporary section, our shelves cover every world imaginable. And as for our non-fiction collection, students can explore everything from anthropology to zoology; law to languages; biographies to cultural histories.

 

We are currently focused on broadening the spectrum of content we host – the team are always keen to get new book recommendations from students and staff to make sure we cater to everybody’s tastes and learning journeys. We’re also looking to expand our range in resources to include audio and e-books.

Meet the Team

As well as being a Learning Hub Manager Miss Melia is an Academic Coach in English. She recently finished reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and listening to the Harry Potter series on Audible… again. She’s currently listening to Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library and reading Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. A fan all things creative, Miss Melia is always looking for new themes for displays, to keep the Learning Hub’s bright and engaging atmosphere fresh.  

 

Mr King is a Learning Hub Manager, and he also supports students in Maths as an Academic Coach. As well as this he has a huge love of history, evidenced in his choice of books. He almost exclusively reads books related to history or mythology. One of his recent favourites is The Kalevala which is a collection of stories and myths from Finland.
