Young Carers Award
We are thrilled to announce that London Meed has won a prestigious award for its work supporting young carers with their education!
The school was presented with the Young Carers in Schools award on the 30th June 2024.
The award is part of the Young Carers in School programme run by charities The Children’s Society and Carers Trust. The programme provides primary and secondary schools across England with step-by-step guidance for teachers, leaders and non-teaching staff to gain the practical tools they need to help young carers.
Young carers are children under 18 who are responsible for the care of a family member with whom, due to illness, disability, mental health condition or addiction, can’t cope without their support.
Our Young Carers team are: Ms Palethorpe - Young Carers Lead, Miss Dowley - Operational Lead and Ms Brayne - Pastoral team member.
