Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning The school supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through a formal pastoral care framework and a dedicated Counselling Department that attends to students' social, emotional, psychological and behavioural needs. The Counselling Policy defines the role of the school counsellor and sets out 1:1 individual counselling, small group sessions, and targeted plans such as Emotional Social Plans (ESW), Individual Behaviour Plans (IBP) and Pupil Support Programs (PSP) to support wellbeing. The counsellor works with parents, staff and, when needed, external agencies to promote student welfare and mental health. Social-emotional development is also fostered through student-led and classroom initiatives such as the Student Council and Philosophy for Children (P4C). A Secondary Pastoral Lead provides dedicated pastoral leadership within the school to support wellbeing.	Social & emotional learning EMS Doha supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) primarily through the AIM (Assistance, Inclusion & Mentoring) Department, which helps learners via differentiation of instruction, curriculum and assessment and by providing in-class, small-group, and one-on-one support to engage students with the mainstream curriculum. Inclusion is a learner-centered philosophy that emphasizes belonging and recognizing each student's unique contributions. On-campus wellbeing is further supported by health services and counselors; EMS notes mental health matters and collaboration with counselors as part of student care. After-school activities and clubs foster social skills, teamwork, and personal development across primary and secondary levels. The school also runs anti-bullying and wellbeing awareness initiatives, such as National Anti-Bullying Week activities.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) The school has an Additional Educational Special Needs (AESN) department to assist students with needs for Special Educational support, as described in the Counselling Policy. Counselling interventions include individual and small-group work, as well as ESW Plans, IBPs and PSPs, with collaboration between the counselling team and AESN to support students with needs. The school uses a formal referral process to involve the counsellor, and may arrange external referrals when required, with parent consent. The Counselling Policy states that the counsellor is part of the Child Protection team leadership along with the Pastoral Leader, following the Child Protection Policy. The materials do not publicly disclose the specific kinds of SEN the school can support or indicate that it operates as a specialist SEN institution.	Special educational needs (SEN) The AIM Department at EMS Doha provides SEN support through differentiation of instruction, curriculum and assessment, with in-class, small-group, and one-on-one sessions to help learners engage with the mainstream curriculum. The department explicitly notes that learners come from diverse backgrounds and may have varying levels of English language proficiency. Inclusion is described as a learner-centered philosophy, highlighting a focus on individual needs within the general curriculum. The site does not describe a dedicated specialist SEN unit; SEN support appears to be delivered through AIM rather than a separate institution. In short, EMS provides inclusive, differentiated support rather than a standalone specialist SEN service.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language The National Curriculum (England) is delivered across all Key Stages in English, indicating that English is the language of instruction at the school. There is no explicit EAL programme described in the publicly available materials. The student body is international, with over 57 nationalities, which suggests a multilingual environment, but EAL-specific staff or structures are not detailed in the provided materials.

English as an additional language English as an Additional Language (EAL) support at EMS Doha is described within the AIM Department, which addresses learners with varying levels of English proficiency through differentiation and in-class, small-group, and one-on-one support to enable engagement with the mainstream curriculum. The AIM page notes inclusion and 21st-century skills development delivered through a mix of in-class, small-group and one-on-one sessions. The school does not publish a separate, standalone EAL program page; EAL support is described as part of the AIM provision. EMS emphasizes inclusion for learners from diverse language backgrounds.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing Mental wellbeing is addressed through a dedicated Counselling Department, which provides emotional, social and behavioural support and works to promote student welfare. Counselling interventions include individual counselling, small group sessions, and tailored plans (ESW, IBP, PSP), with ongoing collaboration with parents and, when needed, external agencies. The Counselling Policy emphasizes confidentiality and outlines procedures for risk and child protection, including collaboration with external services when appropriate. The policy also notes that safeguarding is a core consideration, with the counsellor as part of the Child Protection team leadership. This framework is supported by the Health and Safety Policy, which reinforces health, safety and well-being through school-wide procedures and staff responsibilities.	Mental wellbeing Mental wellbeing is supported through EMS Doha's on-site health clinics, staffed by nurses and a school doctor, providing immediate care and care plans for chronic conditions, as well as mental health support in partnership with counselors. The medical team includes nurses and a designated school doctor who oversees care and preventive health strategies. EMS Health & Wellness notes that mental health matters are addressed, with counselors involved in supporting students' emotional wellbeing. On-campus clinics promote early support for stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges as part of a holistic wellbeing approach. Safeguarding policies also reinforce the emphasis on a safe, supportive environment for student wellbeing.
Safeguarding	Safeguarding Safeguarding is embedded in school policy, beginning with the Health and Safety Policy, which aims to maintain a safe environment, plan for emergencies, and educate students on health and safety. The Health and Safety Policy cross-references Anti-bullying, Cyber-safety, Risk Assessment procedures for trips, and Crisis Management, reflecting a comprehensive safeguarding framework. The policy requires reporting of accidents and injuries and assigns clear responsibilities to staff for safety and welfare. The Counselling Policy states that the school counsellor is part of the Child Protection team leadership and may involve sharing information under Child Protection guidelines. Together, these documents describe a structured approach to safeguarding and child protection across staff, students and families.	Safeguarding EMS Doha maintains a dedicated Safeguarding Team and comprehensive safeguarding policies and procedures that are regularly reviewed to align with local laws and customs in Qatar. Safeguarding is described as a shared responsibility among staff, students, parents, and visitors, with staff wearing easily identifiable badges. Principles include protecting students from abuse, open communication, early identification and reporting, clear procedures, confidentiality, external support, staff training, and data protection (including a Data Protection Officer and GDPR-aligned practices). There are formal reporting channels, and staff are trained to respond to disclosures appropriately. A link is provided to read the full safeguarding policy (drive.google.com). The safeguarding approach is stated as a core priority for creating a safe and supportive learning environment.
