Volunteers
We welcome parents/carers/students/ to volunteer at HPS and 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.
- For the vast majority it is a requirement of a course being pursued at college or high school.
The work carried out by volunteers could come in the form of helping in the classroom or the school office, in an after school club, at a fundraising or special events (e.g. school fair, sports day) or during an educational visit. School Governors too come from the voluntary sector of the school community but they hold more of an “official” voluntary post which carries more responsibilities. More information on becoming a governor may be found on the Governing Body page.
Classroom assistant volunteers may help with any of the following:
- supporting the teacher to prepare for lessons
- Listening to children read
- Telling the children stories or reading to them
- Supporting individual pupils
- Supporting groups of children in all curriculum areas.
For the safety of all children, volunteer helpers will be subject to a DBS check, which is chargeable. A DBS will not be required for parents who volunteer for non-regulated activities/one-off events/trips or on ad hoc occasions.
