Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Sunny View School prioritizes social and emotional development as part of its Learning and Support approach. It provides for students with SEN and socio-emotional concerns to access a broad and balanced curriculum. The SENCo coordinates provision with the Headteacher and SLT, and the School Counsellor offers confidential, non-judgmental support for students. Counselling for social, emotional and mental health difficulties lasts typically 6–12 weeks, with sessions of about 30 minutes. Parents and carers are valued partners and are kept informed and involved in strategies to support their child. Teaching is differentiated and there are targeted interventions (1:1, small groups) and inclusive participation in activities to ensure all students can engage in school life.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Sunny View School is inclusive and aims to cater for all children with SEN. The SENCo leads provision across the three school phases: Preschool (Rachel Rosa), Primary (Fernando Toscano) and Secondary (Sean Thomas). Students identified with SEN receive a Student Passport, an individual support plan developed with teachers, parents and students. The school provides differentiated learning, small-group and one-to-one interventions, and a range of practical supports (laptops, visual timetables, larger fonts, word banks) to help access the curriculum. There is a part-time School Counsellor and access to external educational psychologists; the team also provides speech and language, motor and social skills support. No student is excluded from activities because of SEN and all activities remain accessible through inclusive planning.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Sunny View School uses the English National Curriculum as the core framework in Primary and Secondary. In Primary, all students follow the English National Curriculum, with two Spanish-language pathways: the Spanish curriculum or Spanish as a modern foreign language. In Secondary, students study the English National Curriculum through Key Stages 3–5 alongside the Spanish Curriculum options, including Lengua Castellana y Literatura and Geografía e Historia. The Spanish Curriculum pages describe how Spanish language and Iberian geography/history are taught to prepare for the Spanish school-leaver's certificate and for progression to higher education in Spain or abroad. The school welcomes students of all nationalities and provides an international learning environment, including IGCSE and A Level–style pathways. Language provisions are complemented by language and speech therapies as part of SEN support where appropriate.

Mental Wellbeing
Counselling is provided for social, emotional and mental health difficulties by a part-time School Counsellor (Johana Bernárdez). Counselling sessions typically last 30 minutes and run for about 6–12 weeks, depending on need. The counselling space is confidential, supportive and aimed at helping students express concerns safely. The Counsellor signs referrals to external services when specialised help is required. The SENCo coordinates with the Counsellor to plan smooth transitions for students with additional needs, and parents are kept informed and involved in wellbeing strategies. The school emphasizes student participation and a supportive environment to foster resilience and emotional wellbeing.

Safeguarding
Sunny View School designates a senior person for child protection (the designated senior person is Andrew Beavon; deputies are Rachel Rosa, Sheena Stalker and Victoria Midmer). The school is responsible to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, and all staff share equal responsibility to act on concerns. The safeguarding policy aligns with UK guidance such as Working Together to Safeguard Children and Keeping Children Safe in Education. The policy outlines good-practice standards, including treating children with respect, involving them in decisions, safeguarding against abuse and neglect, and reporting concerns to the DSP by the end of the day. It also covers anti-bullying procedures, abuse of trust, and confidentiality in handling information. If needed, the school will involve external authorities or agencies and will maintain confidentiality on a need-to-know basis.
