Our whole school is committed to meeting the needs of young carers so that they can attend and enjoy school in the same way as other pupils and achieve their potential.

Our school only shares information with professionals and agencies on a need to know basis in order to support pupils and their families.

Our school actively seeks feedback and ideas from young carers and their families to shape and improve support.
