Do you speak French ? Are you available on some Saturday mornings? Even just for an hour? Could you help us on a regular or occasional basis?
Our FLAM supplementary school is always in need of volunteers to keep it running smoothly.
You could help out at reception, in the library, covering books, helping with reading, on the festive committee or preparing teaching resources.
A DBS check will be carried out for each volunteer to ensure the protection of children and young people.
