Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
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.

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.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
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. Explicit EAL provisions or staff are not disclosed in the public materials. The school's language and curriculum positioning are consistent with English-medium instruction for all learners.

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.

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.
