Request for Volunteers in School Do you have an hour or two spare a week? Would you like to come into school to listen to children read? If you think this would be something you would enjoy doing, please contact Mrs Tuplin in the office who will help you with your DBS check. This will be at no cost to yourself as a volunteer. We do ask for volunteers to help in a class that their child is NOT in as we find this can be disruptive for your child. th
