Young Carers Club

Young carers are children who help look after a member of the family who is sick, disabled or has mental health problems, or is misusing drugs or alcohol. At Kenmore Park Junior school we offer support to these children through our Young Carers lunchtime club.

Alongside Harrow Young carers we ensure that our children have a safe, welcoming environment that allows them to take a break from their caring responsibilities, spend time with other young carers and share experiences. If you would like more information or you feel your child may be a young carer, please contact Miss Fraser

Forest School

The Forest School movement has been growing in popularity in the UK over recent years. The idea originally comes from a Scandinavian model of outdoor learning. The benefits of Forest School have been identified as helping to improve children’s confidence and wellbeing as well as improving social skills. Forest School also represents a belief that children should have the opportunity to be more physically involved in their environment and be more active and healthy.

We are fortunate to be able to offer some children the chance to attend Forest School. We work with Harrow Forest School who provide the location and the expert teachers to run the sessions. The children travel by taxi to a local woodland. The woodland is owned by All Saints’ Church in Harrow Weald so it is a secure site, not open to the public. Miss Poultney takes a targeted group of children to forest school every Friday morning. More information regarding forest school is available on the following website.
