We need volunteers to support us with:

🎯 Leading games and activities with children in our playtimes

📚 Sharing books with children, hearing them read, holding conversations about stories and reading to them

☕ Spoiling our staff a little by setting up the staffroom for lunch and packing it away to be working space again afterwards and making the odd cuppa!

Our Volunteers

At Meadowside we are so very grateful for all those who volunteer time to support our school.  Some of these volunteers make commitments for a fixed period of time, such as an academic year or a governor body term (4 years); some of these step up for a one-off occasion such as a school trip, a themed week or an assembly; some of these are involved as Friends of Meadowside raising funds and delivering our enviable social calendar of fetes, Christmas Windows, ‘treasure’ hunts and even a big top circus! 

People get involved for lots of reasons: 

  • Giving back to a school that gives so much 
  • Making friends; working as a team; learning new skills 
  • Learning new skills; demonstrating expertise; bolstering their CV/work history 
  • Supplementing trainee, management and education courses 
  • Enjoying a range of opportunities and activities 
  • Interactions with staff and of course, pupils who are always surprising with their insights, observations, and humour
