Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Pakistan School Bahrain describes itself as a supportive and caring community. The school states that positive relationships between parents, students and teachers form the foundation of the learning environment, and that ongoing communication helps support student success. The Student Affairs section highlights co- and extracurricular activities and clubs intended to provide a holistic education, including Islamic Society, Sports Society, Science Society, Social & Cultural Society, Arts and Dramatic Society, Literacy and Debating Society, and Environment Society. Physical Education is integrated into the timetable and treated as a core part of student development. A formal social and emotional learning (SEL) programme or dedicated staff for SEL is not publicly described.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Publicly available materials do not specify SEN provisions. The pages describe a generally supportive school culture but do not detail any SEN policy, types of needs supported, or whether the school operates as a specialist SEN institution. No staff or departments dedicated to SEN are named in the public materials. It is not possible to confirm from these sources whether targeted SEN support or inclusive education measures exist beyond general support. The absence of explicit SEN information means stakeholders should seek direct confirmation for SEN requirements.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Public information does not outline English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision. The materials describe a supportive learning environment but do not specify EAL programmes, staff, or language-support services. There is no explicit statement on EAL support in the available public materials. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is not described as a separate program in publicly available materials. A Medical Facility provides first aid on site, and in emergencies, students are referred to external medical facilities (BDF or Salmaniya Medical Complex). The Student Affairs section notes a supportive learning community and encourages ongoing communication with parents to support student well-being. There is no explicit information about psychologist services, counselling, or broader mental health programs on the public pages.

Safeguarding
The available material does not publicly disclose safeguarding or child protection policies. The pages emphasize supportive relationships and parent–teacher communication as foundations of the learning environment, but no explicit safeguarding framework is described. No safeguarding officer or safeguarding policy is named in the public materials. The absence of explicit safeguarding information means stakeholders should seek direct confirmation for safeguarding practices.
Parent Experience

History
Pakistan School Bahrain was founded in July 1968 by a group of Pakistani nationals who wanted a dedicated school for their children. It began in a rented building in Manama with about 100 students and a small teaching staff. To accommodate growth, the Government of Bahrain leased land in Isa Town for a purpose-built campus. The foundation stone was laid by H.E. Dr. Ali M. Fakhro on January 10, 1983, and the building was inaugurated by H.E. Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa on March 23, 1985. The Isa Town campus expanded with the Jinnah Block (inaugurated on September 25, 1993) and a Sir Syed Block followed in the mid-1990s, with Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan inaugurating the latter to meet growing needs.

Community
Pakistan School Bahrain operates from two wings: the Manama Primary campus and the Isa Town main campus. It serves more than 2,000 students from around 20 nationalities. The school participates in Bahrain's national celebrations, including National Day and Independence Day, reflecting strong ties to the wider community. Graduation ceremonies recognize graduates and notable achievements, including World Scholar's Cup performances.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Pakistan School Bahrain has a Parents Council, functioning as the PTA-like body formed under the Ministry of Education's guidance. The council comprises parents and faculty, with the Principal serving as chair. A representative from the Ministry of Education attends the council's meetings. Its objective is to create a healthy, comfortable learning environment and to strengthen the relationship among parents, teachers and students. The council coordinates with school leadership to support parental involvement and school initiatives, within a governance framework that also includes an elected Board of Management with advisory and policy-making authority.
