Young Carers

Our Pastoral Team offer support and guidance to all the young carers in our school community.  Our Young Carer Champion is Mrs Corcoran and she can be contacted via email.

Mrs Corcoran is always on hand to answer any questions you may have about Young Carer Support. The Pastoral Department also offer lots of support group opportunities and activities specifically aimed at young carers, such as:

• Half-termly activities
• Trips specifically for young carers
• Young carer drop-in times at the Wellbeing Hub and support around welfare and learning

The Pastoral team work alongside our Head of Year supporting students transitioning to Rodborough in Year 7 as well as with our Year 10 and Year 11 students transitioning on to college and other onward paths.

As a school we offer whole staff training on young carer awareness as well as PSHE lessons and assemblies for students, this includes the support and promotion of Young Carer Week.

At Roborough we believe strongly that young carers need particular support and a nurturing framework and network to assist them with their additional responsibilities.
