School classroom volunteer

Schools in the Portsmouth area are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to support teachers and teaching assistants in the classroom. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a positive impact on children’s education and development.

Volunteer Responsibilities:

  • Assist with classroom tasks such as preparing materials, organising workbooks, and helping create vibrant displays and bulletin boards.
  • Provide one-on-one or small group support to children who need extra help with reading, writing, or other subjects.
  • Offer assistance with administrative tasks, if this is an area you enjoy.
  • Support students’ creativity by helping with arts and crafts projects, or engage in fun and educational games with children who may need emotional or social support.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working with children and wants to contribute to their learning in a meaningful way. Your time and effort will help create a positive and supportive classroom environment!

If you're seeking a college placement, please contact the schools directly, as we do not handle placements.
