Wellbeing in schools: practical support for teachers,
lasting impact for pupils
There’s a mental health crisis amongst young people. Schools are stretched and more than 40% of teachers recently stated they don’t feel confident supporting pupils' mental health. *
But with the right insights and tools, your school can embed a whole-school wellbeing approach that helps every child grow in confidence, emotional literacy and self-belief.

Our approach: growing kind emotionally resilient young people
The capabilities that make us human – our character strengths – hold the key to a fulfilling life.
• Our research-backed, strengths-led approach powerfully supports wellbeing in education and can transform your school culture.
• We give young people a strengths-based lens through which to view themselves, their key relationships and the world around them – including social media influences.
• Students explore how curiosity leads to lower anxiety, how perseverance leads to growth. They see how adaptability increases confidence to deal with uncertainty and how gratitude opens up a new perspective.
Map character strengths. Build pupil confidence. Improve wellbeing outcomes.
We recommend mapping character strengths across your class or school.
Which are most in evidence? Which would be beneficial to build? And who may need support?
Our Character Strengths Survey – developed in partnership with school mental health and wellbeing survey platform Bounce Together gives you a great baseline against which to measure and report progress.
It provides:
• a self-serve, data-informed strengths snapshot of your class or school
• an easy-to-follow report – with clear wellbeing insights
• practical analysis and actionable next steps
• a flexible solution for both primary and secondary schools
• support when you need it
Our role model stories, lesson plans, assemblies and other resources are then your tools to act on the resulting insights.
Amazing People Schools and Bounce Together experts are here to guide you from start to finish – helping you land where you need to.
