This involves helping lower school pupils who experience difficulties in certain subject areas.
For two hours per week you work alongside a member of staff in a curriculum of your choice.
This is a whole year's commitment - not one or two terms.
A 'paired reading' programme operates regularly during registration times, bringing together readers and their 6th form helpers. This is separate from the PDP special needs assistants, but many 6th formers choose to do both activities.
Although special needs assistance can demand a great deal of patience and effort, it can be a most rewarding option.
It encourages you, perhaps for the 1st time, to pass on your knowledge for the benefit of others and to develop important relationships with younger members of school.
Helpers therefore should be willing and reliable and keenly aware of the influence of their position.
If you are considering this option then please look at the 'V' section of the website
