27/05/2026This term, our fantastic Year 9 students have been diving into the world of illustration. They started by studying and recreating old favourites from artists like Quentin Blake and Beatrix Potter, before using those skills to bring their very own characters to life!
The creative journey doesn't stop here. Next term, they will step into the shoes of illustrators as they create a professional publisher's layout for their own books. We can't wait to see their final stories come together!

Young Carers
Our Welfare Team offer support and guidance to all the young carers in our school community. Our Young Carer Champion is Mr Frogley and he can be contacted via email: hfrogley@woolmerhill.surrey.sch.uk
Mr Frogley 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 Head of Year 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 hold the Young Carer Angel Award, given by Surrey Young Carers, to show we are a young carer-friendly school.
