Aims

To combine R's pastoral skills as Deputy Head of Lower School at St Albans School with her desire to be involved in a Church School as a committed Christian.

Also, to experience how schools function in a primary setting and learn more about how to help with school admissions and transition to secondary school.

Background

R was approached by a member of staff at the school. She had a tour of St Helen's and decided to get involved.

Resources

St Albans School allows R leave of absence in order to allow her to fulfil her role as a Governor.

Pupil Involvement

Two of our Sixth Form Partnership students volunteer at St Helen's on Friday afternoons.
