Come for a tour of our school! [TOUR DATES](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/children-starting-school-in-september-2027) # Volunteering at Glenfield ## Volunteering at Glenfield Volunteers are invaluable, helping with activities such as: - Reading with the children - Arts & crafts - Helping children within the classroom - Making resources All you need is a little spare time and enthusiasm. It is the school policy to require ALL volunteers working in school, and seen by the children as a trusted adult, to obtain Disclosure and Barring Enhanced Clearance, have two references and an interview with the Headteacher. Volunteers will be asked to comply with our policies (click **[here](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/policies)** to access our policies) and maintain our safe and secure environment. ### Parent Volunteers Parent volunteers may be able to help on a regular basis and commit to a time slot each week whereas others may offer help when required, such as for an educational visit. If any parent has a skill that they feel could be useful to school, e.g. an artist, musician or author, please let the school office know. All help is readily accepted and is not confined to working with children. Parents will be expected to follow school protocol and policies. Please see below the documents you need to make your application. Parents might also want to consider helping as a member of the Friends of Glenfield who organise fundraising and social events for families to enjoy. Please click **[here](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/parent-committee-fog)** for more details. Finally, parents may like to put themselves forward as a school governor. Please click [here](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/governors) for more information. ### Community Volunteers We have a number of members of the local community wishing to volunteer at our school. This includes grandparents, work experience students and adults seeking educational settings to support their studies. Community volunteers may be asked to meet the cost of their DBS (Disclosure and Barring Certificate - formerly a CRB) which is £40. ### Application to Become a Glenfield Volunteer Please read the letter and job description below and complete the application form and return it to or post/hand deliver to: Glenfield Infant School Rossington Way Southampton SO18 4RN Volunteer Cover Letter 202 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/glenfield-infant-school/files/documents/Volunteer_Cover_Letter(1).pdf) Glenfield School Volunteer 188 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/glenfield-infant-school/files/documents/Glenfield_School_Volunteer.pdf) Application Form - Volunteer May 25 194 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/glenfield-infant-school/files/documents/Application_Form_-_Volunteer_May_25.docx) ### Our School - [Welcome to Our School](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/welcome-to-our-school) - [Vision & Values](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/vision-values) - [Staff](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/staff) - [Governors](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/governors) - [Parent Committee (FOG)](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/parent-committee-fog) - [Job Vacancies](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/job-vacancies) - [Details of School Opening Times](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/details-of-school-opening-times) - [​​​​​​​​Hamwic Education Trust (HET)](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/hamwic-education-trust-het) - [Volunteering at Glenfield](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/volunteering-at-glenfield) ![Glenfield Infant School](https://files.schudio.com/glenfield-infant-school/images/logo/logo-footer(1).png) ### Glenfield Infant School Rossington Way Southampton SO18 4RN 023 8022 7966 ### Useful Links - [Vision & Values](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/vision-values) - [Attendance](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/attendance) - [Governors](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/governors) - [Volunteering](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/volunteering-at-glenfield) - [Policies](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/policies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/GlenfieldInfantSchool) ### Translation [![Hamwic Education Trust ](https://files.schudio.com/glenfield-infant-school/images/logo/Copy_of_White_Outline_Icons_(500_x_500_px)_(200_x_200_px)_(3).png)](https://hamwic-education-trust.schudio.com) © Copyright 2025–2026 Glenfield Infant School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.glenfieldschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
