Volunteer Survey
1.
Felixstow Community School is a small school and our resources can only be stretched so far. In the past we have been grateful for our families who have been able to volunteer their time to support our school and to enrich the learning and lives of our students. Volunteering is not for everyone and we understand that the demands of family and employment mean that sometimes we cannot commit to things on a regular basis, so we are hoping to be able to provide different opportunities for families to support our school which directly impacts on our students and enables our families to make new connections, and feel that they are part of our school community.
Please complete this survey so that we can make plans for the coming year.

We would also like to be able to set up a volunteer's morning/afternoon where we have a certain type of work which needs to be done and we can offer a cuppa in a relaxed atmosphere that is not directly working with the children.
