Young Carers
A young carer is someone aged 25 and under who cares for a friend or family member who, due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, cannot cope without extra support. Our Young Carers in school live with family members who need extra support which sometimes means they, as Young Carers, need support themselves.
Our Young Carers meet regularly with Mrs Shakespeare to play games, chat, bake cakes, tidy up the raised beds or simply to play with Mavis. They chat about their week and what they have enjoyed and it’s good for them to know they are not alone.
If you think your child may be a Young Carer, please contact the school office and we will ensure they are included in our meetings.
