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 keeps 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
