At Parkgate, we are committed to ensuring that Young Carers attend and enjoy school in the same way as pupils who do not have a caring role.  We strive to support identified Young Carers to meet their full potential, alongside working with children who are not yet identified, ensuring they are supported and encouraged to talk to a trusted adult. 

We actively seek feedback from Young Carers and provide dedicated events for the children throughout the year. Young Carers are a protected group, who are offered every opportunity and their attendance and academic progress is closely monitored so that no child is left behind and they are the best they can be. 

We have our own referral process, as well as working alongside Coventry Young Carers to give children the best level of support and care. We work with external agencies, such as school nursing team and Coventry Young Carers, to support Young Carers within school.
