Volunteering at Hazlehead School

We are extremely fortunate to have a very active parent body who help out regularly in school.  We love having volunteers helping out with a variety of tasks.  

To be a volunteer you will need to be PVG checked.  If you contact the school office they will give you information about how to get PVG checked.

As a volunteer you can expect to work with a specific stage within the school on a particular task which will be explained fully.

You may be asked to:

• Read with small groups of children – be sure to correct their pronunciation in a fun way and to ask questions to ensure they understand what they are reading.  The types of questions should include:

  • Factual questions - can they remember what happened?

  • Inferencing questions - can they explain why things happened the way they did based on prior knowledge, what was in the book and logical conclusions?  

  • Make sure they can justify their answers - how do they know they are right?

  • There may be word games like Memory or Snap to help the children develop their sight vocabulary.

• Work with small groups of children on numeracy or writing tasks.  These could be games or text based work.  The teacher will provide you with directions and materials.

• Complete general management tasks such as: photocopy, file, prepare displays etc.
