We actively welcome volunteers at our school as we know they bring with them a range of skills and experience that can enhance the learning opportunities of our children.

Our volunteers include

• members of the governing body
• parents of pupils
• ex-pupils
• students on work experience
• university students referred to us by Student Volunteer Services
• local residents
• friends of the school.

The types of activities that volunteers are engaged include

• hearing children read
• working with small groups of children
• working alongside individual children
• accompanying school visits
• sharing their skills/knowledge by talking to the class
• helping with whole class activities, from preparing resources to assisting with tidying up afterwards.

Safeguarding our children is a priority and visitors and volunteers follow our clear procedures.  We also make sure that any visitor to school – which includes the staff who run our after-school clubs – visits the School office to sign in and read the school information sheet on safeguarding. All volunteers receive safeguarding training and have to complete a DBS check.

If you would like to volunteer at Ramsgate Holy Trinity, please contact the school office and arrange a meeting with our Volunteer Coordinator to discuss options.
