Today is Young Carers Awareness Day 💙
We recognise and celebrate the incredible strength and compassion shown by young people who help care for family members or loved ones. Being a young carer can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you are not alone.
If you are a young carer and need support, help is available. Please speak to your Crew Leader, Ms Webster or Ms Davies who will be happy to listen and help you access the support you deserve.
What a vital day at Ibstock School. Yesterday, our Year 9 students engaged in a hugely impactful Knife Crime Workshop, expertly led by Danny from Street Whyze Project. It was fantastic to see our students participate so thoughtfully, reflecting on crucial lessons around personal safety and the severe dangers associated with knife crime.
These powerful discussions are absolutely essential for empowering our young people with the knowledge and confidence to make safe choices and positively contribute to our community. We`re incredibly proud of their engagement and willingness to explore such important topics.
