St Mary and All Saints Primary School > Could you be a SMAS volunteer?

Welcome to our volunteers page

The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Ghandi

Do you have a spare hour, half day or more and would like to make a difference?

We would love to hear from you or can you recommend someone?

Do you know anyone who could support with finance (parent governor), gardening, painting games on the playground or helping with fundraising (PTA)?

Checks for visitors

Are Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks required for all visitors or volunteers to schools and colleges?

Visitors Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks are not required for visitors. Visitors do not have unsupervised access to children.
Volunteers Checks are required only for those who have regular and unsupervised access to children and young people. Under the terms of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 where a volunteer is being adequately supervised, they are not considered to be working in regulated activity however often they do this, and the school does not need to request a CRB check.
