The aim of Homework Help is simply to help students understand their schoolwork in order to gain competence and confidence.
All helpers are DBS checked, and helpers, students and parents/carers alike sign up to a Conduct Agreement.
Homework Help was launched in January 2018. Volunteers help students and pupils with their homework, in order that they gain understanding and confidence so that they can tackle more on their own. We aim to help them to take further steps towards achieving their potential, however large or small those steps, and to help make firmer the foundations on which their future builds.
We cover as many subjects as we can, typically from Year 6 to Upper Sixth Form.
If you have training or experience to higher levels and could spare an hour or two each week in term time, please join the team! You don't have to be a teacher to help - just have some knowledge and experience and a willingness to spend an hour a week, say, helping a student. We are always on the look-out for more volunteers - the more volunteers there are in the team, the more students and pupils we can help.
