Foundation and Primary Stage (ages 3-11)

For the foundation and primary stages, CAPP offers Celebrating Strengths, a tried, tested and unique approach to building and maintaining a strengths-based school.

Celebrating Strengths does not ‘teach’ positive psychology as an additional subject but weaves it into the existing curriculum and life of the school. It enhances, develops and celebrates the existing strengths of the school, its staff and its pupils – and helps everyone to flourish, to be people at their best.

Celebrating Strengths uses two ancient teaching methods – community festivals and oral story telling – and by making links between these techniques and the latest research from positive psychology it ensures that changes are deep seated and long lasting.

Schools can choose from a variety of training days delivered to staff in your own school. In addition, they can book modelling days where a CAPP advisor will come into school to work with the children and model story telling and associated strength building tools, called Strengths Builders. Modelling days are followed up by coaching days when the advisor returns to observe the tools in use and to offer strengths-based coaching for all staff.
