Volunteers are parents or other adults working alongside the school staff, and students on work experience. At Chandlers Field Primary School we welcome those wishing to help in the school and value the contribution they make to school life. We believe that the involvement of parents, carers and volunteers in children's education is vital and we encourage active participation in many ways. 

We are always looking for wonderful volunteers to add to our team of fabulous helpers. They assist the learning at school on a regular basis mainly by listening to pupils read. Reading practice is so important and is a huge help with all subjects. Our volunteers usually commit to spending regular slots of time in school each week. This time can vary from half an hour to half a day at most.

If you’re interested in volunteering, do let the office staff know. Once you have registered your interest with the school, you will be required to fill in some paperwork to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
