Trinity Oaks is looking for volunteers to support a SEN pupil accessing an afterschool club.

The club runs on Tuesdays from 3 – 4 pm. All volunteers will benefit from being confident supporting pupils with complex needs. This would be ideal for anyone wanting to gain experience working with SEN pupils or in an inclusive school sport setting. All volunteers will be DBS checked.

Please send enquires to senco@trinityoaks.surrey.sch.uk

We currently have a space in Year 4 and spaces in Acorns Nursery. Please contact the school office for further information.
