Wellbeing

We are pleased to confirm that East Hoathly school has achieved the Wellbeing Award for Schools. This award celebrates all that the school does to promote positive mental health and support the wellbeing of everyone in the school community. The report demonstrates some of the school's specific strengths, including support for staff, development of the Thrive Approach, the ethos of care within the school and the teaching of mental health and wellbeing within the school.

The award is valid for three years and we will be looking to continue to develop the work being done in school during that period.

At East Hoathly we have continued our wellbeing initiatives to ensure well being remains a high priority for our whole school community.

  • In school we have continued to have 'I Wish my teacher knew sessions'
  • We have also created new calm reflection spaces in our library and playground
  • We have developed 'Zones of Regulation' displays and strategies in our classrooms to help us notice how we are feeling in different situations.
  • In addition to this we now have a school therapy dog who visits the school weekly. Her name is Tilly and the children love spending time with her.
  • For our families we have provided a variety of workshop opportunities across the federation such as Anxiety awareness, phonics and CLASS+ Support.
