Young Carers
At Brighton Avenue Primary School we want Young Carers to be recognised, feel supported and know they have someone to speak to if they need help. We have a Young Carers Policy and we are raising awareness with the school amongst the children, staff and governors.
Young Carers' School Operational Lead - Gemma Maughan, Family Support Worker
Young Carers's Senior Leadership Team Lead / Governor Link - Joanne Allan Headteacher
Please feel free to contact either of the above staff if you require further information.

Did you know? Every Friday we have a drop in for young carers to come and talk about anything that is on their mind - whether that's home life or worries about school. So please, if your child is a young carer, please encourage them to pop in!
Summer Term Picnic 2026 - We had a great time eating ice loliies in the sunshine and enjoying some games together on the field.
June 2026 - Making microwave mug cakes. We enjoyed following this simple recipe to make a delicious cake. We enjoyed eating the cake even more!
March 2026 - Arts and Crafts. Our Young Carers love getting creative and always look forward to a session where they can get messy!

January 2026 - Making Birdfeeders. Our Young Carers took part in a brilliant activity to make their own feeder with a special visitor from Wrekenton Recycling Centre!
