ST POLYCARP’S Primary School has been awarded Surrey Young Carers’ Angel Award for its support for the school’s young carers.

Surrey Young Carers education advisor for south-west Surrey, Petrina Foster, said: "I’m delighted to be able to present this Angel Award to St Polycarp’s. All the staff have worked very hard to create a supportive setting for their young carers and the young carers’ club have given us a wonderful assembly."

The school has called its young carers’ group the Going the Extra Mile Club.
