Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The school operates a School Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) policy that supports pupils' social development, respect for diversity, and self-awareness. The curriculum provides opportunities across artistic, sporting, and cultural activities to develop collaboration, empathy, and reflection. Pupils are encouraged to work cooperatively in lessons and in outside learning, share views, resolve conflicts, and consider their contribution to society. The school promotes named values such as friendship, respect, perseverance, responsibility, kindness, and creativity, reinforced through assemblies, events, and daily life. The ethos centers on a respectful, inclusive community where pupils are supported to develop personal and social skills and take increasing responsibility for themselves and others.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school is committed to meeting the needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The SEND policy outlines identification and support, ensuring a broad, balanced curriculum with differentiation and regular progress reviews. All teachers are teachers of SEND, and pupils with SEND and their parents are involved in assessing progress and setting goals, with external agencies involved when needed. Support is provided to enable progress, including reasonable adjustments and resource provision to help pupils achieve their best and prepare for adulthood. The policy aligns with statutory guidance and national framework, and emphasizes inclusion, equality, and partnership among pupil, family, and school.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The aims include developing both basic interpersonal language skills (BICS) and cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP), ensuring regular teacher observation and feedback, and including EAL progress in annual reports. Where necessary, timetabling adjustments, after-school slots, and dictionary use are provided to support EAL learners, ensuring equal access to the curriculum.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is addressed through a pastoral framework and PSHE/RSE education. Pupils have access to a School Counsellor who supports emotional and social needs, and the school promotes healthy relationships, resilience, and coping strategies through PSHE and RSHE. The SMSC policy emphasises self-awareness, empathy, and well-being as core learning goals and integrates these themes across the curriculum, assemblies, and activities. The school maintains a safe, inclusive environment with comprehensive safeguarding and pastoral care to promote welfare. The combined approach helps pupils feel secure, valued, and prepared to manage challenges now and in the future.

Safeguarding
The school designates a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and a Deputy DSL; contact details include the DSL's email and extension, the Deputy DSL, and a Front Desk Officer for reach‑ability.

The policy lists external agencies and emergency numbers (119 for reporting abuse; 112 for emergencies) and local authorities in Constanța, with clear roles for monitoring and intervention. It emphasises equality and safeguarding for vulnerable groups, including SEND, English as an additional language learners, and other at‑risk pupils. Records are kept securely, and staff follow a defined process for concerns, disclosures, and information sharing in line with UNCRC and national legislation.
