Schoolreaders volunteers visit a local primary school for an hour each week and listen to children read individually. These children often do not have anyone to read to outside of their classroom and so our volunteers give them the opportunity to develop their reading and comprehension skills whilst developing their social skills and hopefully a lifelong love of reading.

Due to the limited availability of school places, not everyone is successful in securing their child a place at their preferred school. When this happens, parents/carers have the right to appeal against the authority’s decision. School appeals are heard by an independent panel consisting of three individuals. As a panel member, you will read the case papers in advance of the hearing, actively participate in the appeal hearing and decide whether to uphold or dismiss the appeal. To ensure panels are inclusive, we are looking for people from all backgrounds with different experiences and skills. No qualifications or previous experience is needed as you will receive training and you will be supported by the School Appeals Clerks.
