Congratulations to Thongsley Fields Primary and Nursery School on achieving the Healthy Schools Award and embedding a whole school approach to health, wellbeing and resilience from the early years upwards. Students play an active role in school life through councils and leadership opportunities which help them build confidence, responsibility and a strong sense of belonging.
The school places a clear emphasis on mental health and emotional wellbeing with strong pastoral systems, trusted adults and dedicated spaces that support children to talk openly about their feelings. Active lifestyles are woven into daily practice through outdoor learning, structured play, cycling opportunities and enrichment activities, encouraging all children to enjoy being active. Healthy eating and oral health are promoted through cooking, growing food, positive dining experiences and consistent whole school routines.
Families are well supported through clear communication and partnership working with external services, reinforcing healthy habits at home. Staff wellbeing and inclusion are also prioritised, creating a calm, nurturing and inclusive environment where children feel safe, valued and ready to thrive. Thongsley Fields Primary and Nursery School is a strong example of a school community working together to help every child feel safe, supported and ready to thrive.
