We are looking for enthusiastic reading volunteers from our school community to spend some time in school (same day and time each week.) with children.
Each volunteer will receive training to work with children on an individual basis, reading and talking about the book, general discussion and chat.
Your first visit to the school will usually be an ‘induction’ session where you will meet the member of school staff responsible for the reading volunteers in school. This session will include information on the school’s policies and procedures, the class and children you will be reading with.
What do I need to do to get involved?
In order to become a reading volunteer, you must:

* Be able to come into school for an hour a week, plus travel time
* Commit for at least a school year
* Be fluent in English and a competent reader
* Believe in the importance of literacy
* Enjoy spending time with children
* Have been a resident in the UK for the last 2 years
* Agree to undertake a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Check and be able to supply 2 references
* Attend the 2.5 hour initial volunteer training session
We don’t ask for formal qualifications or specific experience but do value the following attributes in our volunteers; patience, enthusiasm, good listeners, good communicators, encouraging and a passion for reading!

Thank you to those parents who have already completed the following form.
