Thank You For Coming!

Thank you to all the volunteers - nearly 50 of you - who attended our latest event on the hottest day of the year. Former head teacher Paul Henery, education lecturer and governor David Jones and primary teacher Mrs Toni Glennon spoke about how to get the most from your volunteering and fielded questions from the audience.

Tips on how to inspire a love of reading for pleasure,  manage behaviour and improve communication between class teachers and volunteers were among the topics covered. We all enjoyed sandwiches, cakes and much-needed tea while catching up with each other and swapping news.

We will shortly be publishing a sheet for volunteers to take to their class teachers to help teachers get the best from their volunteers including a form for the teachers and volunteers to complete which should establish the best way of keeping in contact. It's always frustrating to arrive at school only to find the children are out on a trip of which you had no forewarning! 

Enjoy the rest of the Summer Term and watch out for the next 'In The Loop' newsletter which will be published as soon as our new portal goes online.
