VOLUNTEERING AT ST JOSEPH'S

We welcome parents/carers and parishioners to volunteer at St Joseph's to support our pupils. Volunteering at school is a rewarding experience and benefits the whole school community.

People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons.

• For some it offers opportunities to give something back to the community.
• For others it may provide an opportunity to develop new skills.

Classroom assistant volunteers may help with any of the following:

• Listening to children read
• Telling the children stories or reading to them
• Supporting individual pupils
• Supporting groups of children

For the safety of all children, regular volunteer helpers will be subject to a DBS check.
