Young Carers

Young carers  are  children  who  look  after someone in  their  family who  has  an  illness, a disability,  a mental  health  problem  or  a substance  misuse problem, taking on  practical and/or  emotional  caring responsibilities that would  normally  be  expected  of  an  adult. 

Does your child  help  to  look after  a  family  member  because they  have  an  illness  or disability? 

Swindon  Young Carers  provide support and advice.  This link to their leaflet, gives their contact details. Young Carer Leaflet.

If you would like to  register your child as a young carer please contact Jayne Peer, our family support advisor.

Miss King and Mrs Peer support the young carers in school. 

In May 26, the Young Carers from EYFS, KS1 and KS2 enjoyed time on the trim trail and field where we played football and blew bubbles. We had lots of snacks and fun!

Next meet up in July - we're off to the big field for a picnic and games!

In April, the EYFS and KS1 Young Carers went searching for the Easter Bunny!  First, we found a clue....

 Then we found more clues and followed a trail....

We found bunny footprints on a tree!

We had a chat about where there could be some hidden Easter eggs!

Then we ran off into the woodland area and we found them!

In December we took our young carers to visit an enchanted forest glade at the Outlet Village to visit Santa's flight school.  The children got to meet his magical reindeer, play games with the Forest Flight elves and, of course, learn to fly in his famous sleigh.
