Nottingham Healthy Child Vision

We have worked with adults and children to create a vision for the Nottingham Healthy Child.  We want schools across the city to commit to this vision.

The Nottingham Healthy Child

  • is active
  • makes choices that keep their body healthy
  • uses strategies to maintain a healthy mind
  • has a range of healthy relationships
  • accesses help when they need it
  • feels safe, secure and content
  • is self-award, resilient, and positive about life
  • has dreams and is determined to achieve them
  • is kind to themselves and others
  • celebrates their own and others' uniqueness and promotes equality
  • understands the importance of balance in all aspects of life

How can schools support this vision?

  • A school ethos, environment and relationships that promote and model a positive health and wellbeing culture
  • Improving children's knowledge, understanding and skills through comprehensive PSHE
  • Listening to the needs of children and acting upon them
  • Engaging with local and national forums in order to inform evidence-based practice
  • Encouraging children to apply their learning through a range of opportunities
  • Signposting to and providing a range of support around health and wellbeing
  • Working with parents to develop a shared understanding

Awards

Our Awards programme provides a framework for schools to assess and validate their health and wellbeing provision to support our shared vision for Nottingham children.
