Young Carers

Young Carer Lead: Jo Loveridge

At Sir Thomas Rich’s, we are committed to supporting our young carers, so they feel understood, valued and able to thrive.

We work closely with families to create bespoke Young Carer Passports, ensuring staff are aware of individual circumstances and can provide flexible, practical help.

Our regular Young Carer Hubs offer a safe, supportive space for pupils to meet others, share experiences and access targeted pastoral support. Through assemblies and awareness events, we also help the wider school community understand the challenges young carers may face.

Our aim is simple: to make sure every young carer receives the support they need to enjoy school life and achieve their full potential.
