How to Get Involved

Working Together for Every Child

At Tweseldown Infant School, we believe that a strong partnership between home and school is key to helping children thrive. Parents, carers, families and members of our wider community all play an important role in enriching school life and supporting our children to achieve their very best.

There are many ways to get involved, whether you have a little time to spare, a skill to share, or simply a desire to support our school community. Every contribution, big or small, helps make a difference.

Supporting Children with Reading

Reading is at the heart of everything we do, and hearing children read is one of the most valuable ways to support their learning. Volunteers who listen to children read help to build confidence, encourage a love of books and strengthen vital literacy skills.

If you are able to spare some time during the school day, our staff will be happy to provide guidance and support so that you feel confident in helping our young readers flourish.

Join Our PTA

Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) plays a vital role in school life, organising events, fundraising initiatives and opportunities that benefit all our children.

Joining the PTA is a wonderful way to meet other families, contribute ideas and help create memorable experiences for our pupils. Whether you can attend meetings regularly, volunteer at events or offer occasional support, your involvement is always appreciated.

Helping at School Events

Throughout the year, we host a range of exciting events, celebrations and community activities. From seasonal fairs and school performances to sports events and special theme days, volunteers help make these occasions enjoyable and successful.

By lending a hand at events, you not only support the school but also become part of the vibrant community that makes Tweseldown Infant School such a special place.

Share Your Skills and Talents

We are fortunate to have a community filled with talented and knowledgeable people. If you have a skill, profession, hobby or interest that could inspire our children, we would love to hear from you.

Whether you are an artist, musician, gardener, craft enthusiast, engineer, healthcare professional or business owner, your experiences can help bring learning to life and broaden children's understanding of the world around them.

Supporting Through Your Workplace

Many local businesses and organisations are keen to support schools within their community. If your employer offers volunteering opportunities, sponsorship, donations or community partnership programmes, we would be delighted to explore how we can work together.

These valuable partnerships help us provide enhanced opportunities and experiences for our pupils while strengthening links within our local community.

Every Contribution Matters

There are many ways to support Tweseldown Infant School, and we value every offer of help. By working together, we can create enriching experiences, strengthen our school community and provide the very best opportunities for our children.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering or becoming involved in school life, please contact the school office or speak to a member of the PTA.

Together, we can create a supportive, inspiring and inclusive community where every child is encouraged to learn, grow and shine.
