Volunteer Readers - would you like to be involved?

Our school community thrives due to the dedication of the staff and support of parents, and because of the tremendous contribution of our volunteers.

Whether it’s helping with reading, phonics or maths; walking children to the church or castle; getting involved with sport, cooking, DT, art or other areas, our wonderful team of volunteers do so much for the children and the school – and we really appreciate it: thank you!

It’s easy for you to get involved too. Just ask at the School Office for a volunteer form, or email a request to us, as we’re looking to add a few more volunteer readers this year.

We’ll set up an online DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check – something we do for all regular volunteers, which costs £8. When that comes through (it usually only takes a couple of weeks), and once you’ve read all the necessary support information and had your Safeguarding training, you’ll be able to start volunteering.  Please note that we usually avoid placing parent volunteer readers in your child’s class.
