We recently received some wonderful feedback about our pupils which we wanted to share with our school community.
In Summer this year, some of our students carried out some volunteering at Redditch Library. Although they are in year 10 now, they found out about the scheme when we held our Humanities Careers Fair in the summer (when they were still in Year 9).
Here is the feedback we received:
Good Afternoon,
I work at Redditch Library and part of my role is volunteer management, this year we had several of your students volunteer with us to help out over the summer with the annual Summer Reading Challenge. This role involves helping children find a passion for reading, helping children pick out books, talking to them about the books that they have read and supporting staff in general maintenance of library tidiness. These students included; Erin R, Rebecca D, Niamh F, Ruby H & Hayley-Mae S.
I just wanted to pass on a message of thanks and also express how very lucky you are to have students who represented not only themselves but your school in such a positive way, they were not only willing to help at any given opportunity but they each took their roles very seriously. On top of being punctual, helpful and all-round pleasant to work with, they took pride in helping the younger children who were participating in the challenge and were a credit to themselves and should be very proud of the work they have done. They will also be receiving certificates recognising the amount of time they dedicated to helping us this summer.
Through this experience I can say I would be more than happy to take on any work experience students you may have this year, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any students looking for roles similar to this, thank you,
Kind regards,
