We welcome parents or other adults in school to assist with reading to children, supporting year group trips and activites, walking the children to Church or other duties such as the school library.
Naturally, the statutory guidance from the Department for Education "Keeping children safe in education" is a vital consideration for us when arranging for adults to work with children. All volunteers who wish to work regularly with our children will be asked to complete a Volunteer Helper Application form which is available from the school office. We'll ask for details of previous employment and any experience of working with children and two personal references will be required. We will also require all applicants to hold a clear Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate, attend Safeguarding Training and be familiar with all appropriate school policies.
If you are interested in helping in school, please ask at the school office, or speak to your child's teacher.
