Helping in school

Parent helpers

We really do appreciate your help in the classroom and on trips and visits. Helpers are asked to assist with things such as: cooking, art and craft, library sessions, sports events, and reading with children, as well as general classroom support. Please volunteer by letting the Head Teacher or Class Teacher know how and when you would like to join us.

All helpers are checked through the Children's Barred List procedures, and we ask that they complete a Disclosure and Barring Service Form, in line with current legislation.
