Volunteering at Rodborough
At Rodborough we welcome a variety of adults into school on a voluntary basis. These may be parents, grandparents, students looking for placements to gain experience before starting a course in education, student teachers, work experience students from local secondary schools or other members of the Rodborough Community.
Volunteering at school is a rewarding experience and benefits the whole school community. You will gain a first hand understand of the daily activities here at Rodborough, gain valuable experience and help the children to develop and learn new skills.
The work carried out by volunteers could come in the form of helping in the classroom, during an after school club, at a fundraising event or during an educational visit.
Volunteers in the classroom may help with any of the following:
- Supporting the teacher to prepare for lessons
- Listening to childre read or practising mental maths fluency
- Telling the children stories or reading to them
- Supporting groups of children in all curriculum areas
For the safety of all children, volunteer helpers will be subject to a DBS check.
