16/03/2023🐥Easter Community Cup Donations 🐥
As part of our Community Cup challenge this term, we are collecting donations for our local care homes and food banks. Students are being asked to donate Easter chocolate in return for Proud to Belong house points.
Donation days are taking place on Thursday 23rd and Thursday 30th March and staff and prefects will be collecting from the driveway on those days. So please, if you are able, pop something extra in your shopping basket, it will be much appreciated.

Young Carers
Our Welfare Team offer support and guidance to all the young carers in our school community. Our Young Carer Champion is Nicola Tyrrell and she can be contacted via email:
ntyrrell@woolmerhill.surrey.sch.uk
Mrs Tyrrell is always on hand to answer any questions you may have about Young Carer Support. The Welfare Department also offer lots of support group opportunities and activities specifically aimed at young carers, such as:
- Weekly young carer lunch clubs with games and fun activities
- Larger half-termly activities
- Trips specifically for young carers
- Young carer drop-in times at the welfare office and support around welfare and learning
The Welfare team work alongside our Year Leaders supporting students transitioning to Woolmer Hill 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 Woolmer Hill School we believe strongly that young carers need particular support and a nurturing framework and network to assist them with their additional responsibilities. We are working towards obtaining the Young Carer Angel Award, given by Surrey Young Carers to show we are a young carer friendly school.
