Military Families

Cambridgeshire County Council are committed to supporting Military families who have opted to either electively home educate or access an educational setting. Bases often have School Liaison Officers who can provide advice and guidance concerning educational matters covering both home education and schools.

Military Covenant

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise between the nation, our government and the Armed Forces community that states that no one should suffer disadvantage caused by military service. The covenant extends to serving personal from Royal Navy, Army and RAF, regular and reservist. Also to their families and veterans and their families.

Introducing the Young Carers Resources Hub: Empowering Schools to Support Vulnerable Students

At Centre 33, we recognise the importance of providing comprehensive support to young carers, who often face unique challenges while balancing their caregiving responsibilities with school life. The Young Carers Resources Hub is a one-stop destination that equips educators with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to create a nurturing environment for these exceptional students.
