Supporting Young Carers in Telford Schools

Do you have a child who helps care for a family member or friend with an illness, disability, or mental health issue?

If so, your child might be a Young Carer! Young Carers often take on extra responsibilities, like helping with household chores, personal care, or emotional support.

At Newdale, we want to support our Young Carers and ensure they have the help they need to thrive. That’s why we’re working with Telford & Wrekin Council and other local organisations to identify and support Young Carers in our school community.

If you think your child might be a Young Carer, please get in touch with us. We can offer

– Support with schoolwork and attendance

– Emotional support and guidance

– Access to local resources and services

– Opportunities to connect with other Young Carers

To find out more or to let us know about your child, please contact Mrs Millington in the school office or our pastoral manager, Mrs Byrne Corbett.

Let’s work together to support our Young Carers in Telford! 🌈

Year 5 – Careers Day

As a part of careers day, Year 5 had a visit from an author named Joseph Allen, who writes fantasy books for children. Joe shared his planning books and his stories with the children and helped them to create their own character for a story. He then read an extract of his latest book!

The children absolutely loved learning about his work 😊

What’s App – Year 5

We have been made aware of some What’s App groups involving children in year 5 that we are asking for you to please monitor.

Within the chats, older children, who are not known by everybody, have been added and some of the content and messages being sent are not age appropriate.

As a school we will continue to address online safety in lessons and making sure pupils understand the importance of staying safe online and ask you as parents/ carers to support at home and monitor devices.
