Wellbeing
The NHS suggests mental wellbeing means feeling good about yourself and the world around you and being able to get on with life in the way you want.
At Caroline Haslett School we recognise the important role that we have in promoting mental wellbeing. All our staff support children to build resilience and across the school we raise awareness about the importance of good mental health.
Learning can boost self-confidence and self-esteem, help build a sense of purpose and help us connect with others.
We believe that happy children learn best when given opportunities to express emotions, understand their feelings and knowing that they have a safe space in which to resolve problems or anxieties. We support children in building strong supportive relationships.
We provided every opportunity to develop children’s confidence and capacity to become successful learners.
Evidence from the NHS suggests there are 5 steps you can take to help improve your mental health and wellbeing. These are connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give.
Early interventions can help reduce both physical and mental health problems. If your child is experiencing any level of worry or anxiety, there are lots of things we can put in place to help. Please do not hesitate to contact us at school before the worry grows.

SOCIAL IMPACT AWARD
Last academic year (2023/24) CHPS registered for a Social Impact Award.
The award is designed to educate, inspire and empower the next generation of change-makers, teaching children about the world and the impact and change they can make.
We are pleased to announce that we have received the award. This is a testament to the wonderful social action work that our children have put in this year to make a positive impact on our local community and the wider world. We are thrilled to have earned this recognition.
We have been delighted to have children share their actions throughout the year and celebrate their achievements by receiving individual tokens which have been added to our sharing jar in the concourse.
Well done to everyone, this has been a fantastic whole school achievement.
