Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
We believe that for children to reach their full potential, the school attends to all their needs: academic, physical, social and emotional. A psychologist is employed to address these needs. The psychologist works one-to-one with pupils who may have learning, behavioural, social or emotional problems, as referred by teaching staff. The psychologist also works with pupils who contact her directly to discuss specific problems. The psychologist communicates and collaborates with parents to tackle problems and with staff to ensure issues are addressed appropriately, efficiently and effectively.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school recognises that each child is unique and aims to meet the educational needs of every pupil. Where a pupil has specific educational needs, every effort is made to enable them to overcome these within the resources available at the school. The school does not specialise in supporting particular categories of special needs. Parents are strongly advised to discuss any known difficulties with the school when applying for admission to ensure these difficulties can be met.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Except at Nursery level, entry requires a good grasp of the English language, both spoken and written, at a level appropriate to the pupil's development.

Mental Wellbeing
The school believes that if children are to reach their full potential, it must attend to all their needs, including emotional and social needs. A psychologist is employed to support mental wellbeing, providing one-to-one work with pupils who may have emotional or behavioural difficulties, and to discuss issues directly with pupils who contact her. The psychologist communicates with and involves parents and staff to address problems effectively, ensuring appropriate support is available.

Safeguarding
The welfare framework includes a psychologist who provides welfare support and works with parents and staff to monitor and address concerns, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for pupils.
