How you can help the school
We are always keen to receive help from parents, carers and other adults who wish to gain experience of volunteering in a primary school environment. Those who are interested in helping in school, and have the necessary free time, should speak to the School Office to arrange an appointment with the Headteacher or use the contact form below.
People can help in many different ways, including:
Volunteers in school are all checked by the Government’s Disclosure and Barring Service in line with child protection guidelines.
As volunteers in the classroom can have a significant impact on children's attainment and progress - both positive and negative - it is important that they have good standards of English and Mathematics. Consequently, classroom volunteers will be asked to verify that they have at least a GCSE - or equivalent - in English and Maths.
