If you are interested in volunteering on a regular basis, this means more than three days within a 30-day period, or undertaking overnight activities, this may be considered to be carrying out regulated activity. In these circumstances, you will need to complete our full volunteer recruitment process.

If you would like to become a regular volunteer, please complete the Volunteer Application Form, providing details of:

• The skills, experience, or support you can offer
• The days and times you are available
• Any relevant interests or areas of expertise

Following receipt of your application, we will contact you to begin the recruitment process. This will include obtaining references, completing safeguarding checks, undertaking relevant training, and obtaining an Enhanced DBS check.

We appreciate that this process can take some time, but we are sure you understand the importance of ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children in our school.

Volunteer Application Form – please complete

Parents and carers who support occasionally, for example at a PFA event, school fair, or on a school trip, are not usually required to complete the full volunteer recruitment process. Please note anyone who is not a current parent, carer of a child at St Anne's or who does not have a clear association with the school will not be considered for occasional help. 

However:

• You will be supervised at all times by a member of staff.
• You will not be left alone with children, including your own child.
• You must read and agree to our Volunteer Code of Conduct before attending the event.
• Access to the school site will only be granted once this has been completed.

The Volunteer Code of Conduct can be viewed and agreed to here.

Each year we receive a large number of requests from students wishing to complete their Duke of Edinburgh volunteering placement at St Anne's. We are always pleased to support young people where possible. However, due to demand, we are unable to offer placements to everyone who applies.

If you would like to be considered for a placement, please complete the application form below. This will help us ensure that opportunities are offered fairly and that we can match successful applicants to appropriate volunteering roles.

DofE Application Form

If a placement is offered, you will be required to:

• Read and sign the Volunteer Code of Conduct.
• Meet with a member of our safeguarding team, either the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) or Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL), before your first session.

We are also fortunate to receive many requests for work experience placements. Whilst we are keen to support students wherever possible, the number of placements we can offer each year is limited.
