Parent Volunteers
How can you help?
Getting Involved
At Rayne Primary School, we believe that if parents are involved in their child's learning, and are enthusiastic about education, then their child has a better chance to succeed. We encourage parent involvement in their child's education and we are always grateful to parents who are able to help in school.
There are a number of ways for parents to get involved in our school life:
- Parent governors
- PSA - Rayne School Parent School Association - get involved with putting on fun events for the children whilst raising much need additional funds for Rayne School.
- Helping with reading - at Rayne, we are very lucky to have a number of parent volunteers who kindly donate their time weekly to listen to our pupils read. This is a fantastic opportunity for our children to extend their learning and build their confidence. It is also a great opportunity for the adult to gain some volunteering experience.
- Helping with school trips
If you would like to be involved in any aspect of school life, please contact the School Office. All adult volunteers must complete a Volunteers registration form and a enhanced criminal record check through the Disclosure and Barring Service will be required if you are helping with certain activities such as reading.
How can you help your child progress at school?
- Be interested. Make sure your child knows you are interested in what they have done at school and what they are learning. The school holds termly 'Meet the Teacher' sessions after school to appraise you of the topics for that term however don't be afraid of asking your child's teacher for further information at other times.
- Share books. Please read to your child for at least twenty minutes each day. Reading includes books, newspapers, leaflets, the internet, signs and comics. Try to keep it fun and interesting for you both. This will help the children get into great habits and set motivation for when they learn to read.
- Maths Basic Skills. Practise counting, recognising up to 3 objects without counting, spotting shapes and numbers everywhere, watch CBBC Numberblocks.
