Work Experience And Volunteering At Angel Road Infant and Nursery School

Introduction to our School

Angel Road Infant and Nursery School is situated in the North of the city of Norwich. The school can be found just a short distance off Waterloo Road, which runs between Magdalen Road and Aylsham Road. The children’s ages range from 2 – 7 years old and there are currently approximately 270 pupils on roll.

We share the same site as Angel Road Junior School. Both establishments have the same Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team and Local Governing Body. We believe that this allows us to share expertise, resources and provide vital continuity as children make the most of their learning journey.

Our school is for pupils in Reception and Key Stage 1 of their education. The Nursery is for two to four year olds.

Currently, we have 7 classes across the school. We also have a PE/Games instructor who teaches all of the children. Our support staff team includes teaching assistants, a P.E. instructor, a parent support adviser and midday supervisors. The school runs a Breakfast club and After School Club as well as activity clubs on most days after school.

Expectations

As a student on work placement or volunteer, you will gain very valuable experience at Angel Road Infant  and Nursery School but in return we will expect you to work hard and with respect for the staff and children.

This is a very busy school and we expect you to be proactive and take initiative. Whether you are in school on work placement or as a volunteer, you will work in a designated class or year group and support the members of staff by following any requests they may have to help the children. This could mean for example; listening to children read, helping with art/craft or working with a small group of children towards a specific goal. We also welcome volunteers to help with visits which take place throughout the school year; specific details of these will be given for each trip.

In our school, we are strongly committed to safeguarding procedures to ensure the well-being of children. Please read our safeguarding policy which can be found on the website before contacting the school. Volunteers and work experience students will be subject to Enhanced DBS and vetting procedures.
