Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Struer Statsgymnasium provides a coordinated approach to student wellbeing. The student counsellors coordinate support for students with academic, social or emotional needs, working closely with the IB coordinator, teachers and parents. A team of coaches supports students facing academic, social and emotional challenges, and a reading counsellor assists with literacy and learning needs. The school has a psychologist who visits weekly (up to five consultations per school year) and Homework Cafes offer after-class help. The school's mission and leadership emphasise student wellbeing, aiming to meet students where they are and lift them academically, socially and personally.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Struer Statsgymnasium has a Special Educational Needs Policy. It identifies four broad SEN categories: communication and interaction, cognition and learning, social, mental and emotional health, and sensory and/or physical needs. Daily coordination for SEN is led by the student counsellor in collaboration with the IB coordinator and teachers, with planning before the school year and ongoing review. Support measures include student counselling, coaching, access to a school psychologist (weekly visits, up to five consultations per year), a reading counsellor, teacher/student mentors, and homework cafés. The policy also describes accommodations for IB exams (e.g., extra time, rest periods, ICT use, scribes/readers, prompters) and states the school will help arrange assessments or transfer to another institution if needed.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The language policy states that the language of instruction is English in all classes except Danish classes, and that all teachers act as language teachers. English is the unifying language, and students are encouraged to speak English in and out of class. All students learn at least one additional language, with current group 2 options including English B HL, Danish B HL, Spanish a.i. SL, and German SL. The school supports Language A Literature self-taught options and other languages studied as self-taught with supervision.

Mental Wellbeing
Social, mental and emotional health is recognised as a key area in the SEN framework. The school coordinates support through student counsellors and teachers, with a dedicated school psychologist (weekly visits, up to five consultations per school year) and a coaching team to assist students facing academic, social or emotional challenges. Reading counsellor support and Homework cafés are available to aid learning and well-being. The institution prioritises wellbeing in its strategic direction and mission, and conducts regular wellbeing efforts and targeted support to ensure students feel supported and engaged.

Safeguarding
Struer Statsgymnasium has explicit safeguarding policies to prevent abusive acts and promote a safe learning environment. The institution defines and prohibits harassment and seeks to create an environment where all pupils feel safe and respected. It maintains an anti-bullying strategy and requires regular pupil well-being surveys, with processes for raising concerns and addressing them through formal procedures. If harassment or other incidents occur, the rector investigates with support from a study-coordinator or counsellor, and parents are involved when students are under 18; serious cases may be escalated to the board, and additional steps exist for reporting and external authorities when necessary. Policies and procedures are communicated to families and staff as part of the school's ongoing safeguarding framework.
