Volunteering at Friends’

Volunteering at Friends’ is a rewarding experience and we welcome those that would like to help in the many ways that enrich our student’s time at the School. This may be helping in the classroom, coaching a sports team or participating in an excursion. If you would like to volunteer, please complete a Volunteer Registration Form. This is an annual process that will need to be renewed every 12 months.

All volunteers need to provide evidence of their Working with Vulnerable People Registration, as this is an essential requirement for the safety of the children in our care.
