PLUS ONE PROGRAMME
Please see further guidance and information here on the Plus One Programme - Volunteering is part of the Plus One programme and you should be planning this aspect during the summer, making contact with possible business or organisations and be ready to start this in the new term. This may be something you are already doing such as helping with Brownies, volunteering in a care home or an animal rescue which you can continue to do after school and we will build this into your timetable. If you are unable to find a volunteering placement or are unsure of where to start, then please indicate your interests on the form below as we are also able to offer volunteering opportunities within school e.g. helping in lower school lessons, assisting with sports, or gardening.
If you have any questions about the Plus One Programme, please contact Mrs Nelson at nelsonh@ripongrammar.com
