Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Amity English School Dubai defines learning as including intellectual, social, emotional and personal development, and admission is not conditional on diagnosis. Early identification of students of determination ensures provisions are planned on entry to classrooms to support social and emotional development. A tiered model of support is used: Tier 1 provides Quality First Teaching with differentiation; Tier 2 offers targeted interventions; Tier 3 delivers highly personalised support with inclusion staff and external specialists. Class/subject teachers foster a secure, nurturing environment and promote well-being, with peer-group support and buddy systems as part of the school approach. The policy emphasises developing emotional intelligence and essential communication skills as part of the learning journey. External agencies may be involved when needed, including on-site services like occupational therapy or speech and language therapy with KHDA approval, and Amity does not diagnose students.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Amity English School Dubai uses a robust system to identify ALNs and maintains an Inclusion Register to track Tier 1–3 supports and interventions. Student Support Plans include documents such as IEPs, One Page IEPs, Group Intervention Plans, Behaviour Support Plans and Pupil Passports, developed with parents, teachers and inclusion staff. The school follows a three-tier model: Tier 1 is Quality First Teaching with differentiation; Tier 2 provides targeted pull-out or small-group interventions; Tier 3 offers highly personalised support with input from the Head of Inclusion, inclusion staff, or external specialists as needed. Inclusion staff include a Head of Inclusion, Inclusion Teachers, Inclusion Assistants and Class/Subject Teachers who monitor progress and coordinate supports, with no additional charges for inclusion provision. The school does not diagnose students and will refer to KHDA-approved external professionals for formal assessment when needed; external services such as Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy may be provided on school premises with KHDA approval, funded by parents.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The policies published for Amity English School Dubai do not specify a separate EAL program. The Inclusion Policy focuses on identifying and supporting learners with ALNs and describes a tiered model with differentiated teaching that could accommodate language differences within the mainstream curriculum. The admissions guidance states that the school welcomes applications from prospective students with ALNs and will request supporting documentation to plan reasonable adjustments; no diagnosis is required to consider admission. External services may be used for assessments or specialist input when needed, and KHDA-approved external agencies may provide services on site. No explicit EAL program is described in the published policies.

Mental Wellbeing
Social, emotional and personal development are central to the school's learning approach, with well-being and positive relationships being explicit aims of instruction. Class/subject teachers are expected to foster a secure, nurturing environment and promote well-being, including opportunities for peer support and buddy systems. The Inclusion Policy includes CPD training for all staff on the needs of students with ALNs to strengthen understanding of wellbeing and inclusive practice. The framework recognises the potential involvement of external agencies to support wellbeing when needed, subject to KHDA approvals.

Safeguarding
The Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy states that all staff have a pastoral duty to safeguard pupils and that pupil welfare is paramount. A Designated Safeguarding Team across the school, including Victoria Tucker-Brown (Acting Head of School), Raghi K Raghavan (School Nurse), Ms. Aya (Arabic Teacher) and Ekta Dhakan (EYFS Teacher), coordinates safeguarding responsibilities. Staff receive annual safeguarding training, and all staff must report concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Lead following formal procedures. Concerns can be referred to KHDA or Police as required, and the policy outlines safe recruitment and confidential record-keeping for safeguarding matters. The policy also provides guidance on handling disclosures and maintaining appropriate confidentiality.
