National Volunteers Week
1st - 7th June 2026 is National Volunteers Week. At The King’s School, we like to use this UK wide week of celebration to formally acknowledge and share the many ways our diverse range of volunteers support our school community, and the contributions they make.
We have a wide variety of volunteers who support us in different roles. Volunteers who help in school, and those who quietly support us in prayer. To all of you, your contributions make such a difference to our pupils and staff, and we truly couldn't do it without you.
Thank you
We extend our sincere gratitude to every individual who has volunteered their time during the current academic year. Your professionalism, reliability, and genuine commitment to supporting our pupils' education have been exemplary. As highlighted within our recent inspection report, our school community is recognised for a culture of kindness. We know this extends beyond our staff team and is reflected by our volunteers, not just your kindness in giving up your time to support us, but in your warm attitudes towards our school community.
Thank you to our voluntary exam invigilators - for supporting operationally and helping to maintain a calm, professional environment for pupils during our exam season. We are so grateful for your time.
Thank you to our parent fundraisers and the PVB, who work hard work to help us provide those extra opportunities and resources that enrich our pupils' educational experience, like the Light Party, Undercover Bookstall and after school ice cream sales (returning next term!). Thank you to the team who help serve tea and coffee in primary assembly, helping create a sense of community with parents.
To our volunteer readers. classroom helpers and office/site volunteers – the time you spend listening to children read and supporting them in class is so appreciated and helps develop a love of reading. The time spent sorting second hand uniform, tidying the bookshelves and providing general help around the school does not go unnoticed.
To our volunteer gardeners – we are thankful of the time you spend maintaining our planters, which are full of colour. (Sorry we have added so many more to your workload!)
Lastly, to our Governors and Trustees, thank you for the hours you put in to support the school and the Leadership Team.
Every single one of you plays a vital role in making The King's School the community it is today. Thank you for your generosity, commitment and care.
Opportunities for Future Involvement
We welcome enquiries from members of our school community who may be interested in volunteering. Whether you have time to support with reading, assist in classrooms, help maintain our grounds, or invigilate examinations, we would be pleased to discuss how your skills and availability might align with our current needs.
Those interested in volunteering should contact the school office in the first instance, where information regarding our volunteer procedures and safeguarding requirements will be provided.
Thank you once again for your outstanding contribution to The King's School.
