Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning ICS Paris delivers a Wellbeing program that prioritises social and emotional learning. Primary students participate in an eight-week Emotional Intelligence (EI) programme to understand themselves, connect with others, and navigate daily challenges with confidence. The programme emphasises understanding emotions, recognising feelings in others, and managing relationships as essential to learning and personal growth. A Designated Safeguarding Lead and Student Support Coordinator, Mrs Kamath, launched the initial assembly for Grades 1–3 to introduce EI concepts. Through this initiative, students develop empathy, resilience, and self-awareness.	Social & emotional learning Kingsworth places wellbeing at the center of learning, combining social‑emotional development with academics. The wellbeing program includes initiatives to ensure every student feels safe, valued, and supported. Wellbeing initiatives are tailored to each age group and adapted to meet individual needs. In the Primary section, Thrive and Grow integrates social‑emotional learning with safeguarding to foster resilience and emotional intelligence. In the Secondary, a Buddy System helps arriving students integrate, and dedicated form tutors monitor both academic progress and social‑emotional wellbeing. Open communication with families and annual safeguarding training for staff underpin the safeguarding framework.

BML support is included in tuition and takes place during the school day for Grade 1 to Grade 10; in Primary, the programme is intensive with targeted literacy and subject-support adaptations, while in Secondary, language acquisition is tailored to help multilingual students access the IB curriculum.

In Secondary, English is the primary language of instruction, with mandatory French in Middle School and options to continue French for Cambridge examinations and to study Spanish for external examinations. Pupils who require language support receive scaffolded and differentiated small‑group EAL (English as an Additional Language) or FLE (français langue étrangère) lessons for one hour per week until they can follow standard lessons. English phonics and spelling groups are used in Primary to support language development, differentiating instruction by level. The policy aims to ensure all students have access to the full English/French curriculum with targeted language support as needed.

Safeguarding	Safeguarding Safeguarding is a central pillar of ICS Paris' practice. A Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) oversees safeguarding and student welfare, with Mrs Kamath occupying the DSL role.

Recruitment and employment policies require safeguarding checks and adherence to Safeguarding and Child Protection Protocols to ensure a safe environment for all students. The school also maintains a formal safeguarding framework as part of its ongoing commitment to child protection.	Safeguarding Safeguarding is integrated across Primary and Secondary education. As an ECIS member school, safeguarding is a priority, with all staff receiving comprehensive safeguarding training annually. Staff must report suspected incidents of child abuse or neglect, with reporting extending to local authorities when appropriate. The policy is distributed annually to parents, applicants, and students, and is reviewed for compliance and effectiveness each year. Detailed safeguarding guidelines cover physical contact, boundaries, and incident reporting, and a designated safeguarding lead coordinates referrals and training. The school maintains a safeguarding officer who oversees local‑law compliance, supports staff and students, and ensures policies are reviewed annually; recruitment practices include reference checks, credential verification, police background checks, and online vetting to protect pupils.
