Volunteering at Our School

Volunteers at our school bring with them a range of skills and experience that can enhance the learning opportunities of pupils. The Board of Governors, therefore, welcomes and encourages volunteers from the local community. Our volunteers include:

  • Members of the Governing Body
  • Parents of pupils
  • Ex-pupils
  • Students on work experience
  • University students referred to us by Student Volunteer Services
  • Ex-members of staff
  • Local residents
  • Friends of the school

All volunteers meet with Mrs Chadwick, the Headteacher, for informal face-to-face interviews. References are requested and Disclosure and Barring Service checks are conducted for all placements.

All volunteers in our school are bound by a code of confidentiality, which will be explained to those volunteering at the start of their period of voluntary work. For further information, please contact the school office.
