11/06/2026Empathy Day Festival 2026 - Read for Empathy
We’re proud to be celebrating the Empathy Day Festival in our library this week!
Did you know that reading can build empathy? When we jump into a character’s story, we see the world through new perspectives, understand different experiences, and grow kinder, and more connected as a result.
This year’s #ReadForEmpathy Collection is packed with powerful, thought-provoking books —exploring identity, relationships, resilience, and understanding others.
Great news: We have many of these titles available in the library right now!

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.
