Volunteer with us

Our parents and carers play an incredible part in making learning magical. We're looking for volunteers to help across the school, whether that's reading with children, supporting small groups or lending a hand with resources.

• Flexible timings: most roles are short, regular slots during school hours.
• No experience needed: we'll give you any training you need.
• Big impact: a little of your time helps our pupils grow, learn and thrive.

Keeping children safe

The safety of our pupils always comes first. All volunteers need a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check before they start, and we will arrange this with you. Regular volunteers also complete a short application and provide references.

You can find out more on our Safeguarding page. Our Volunteers privacy notice explains how we use your information.
