Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The school places wellbeing and personal development at the core of its provision, with the KHDA rating describing the wellbeing provision as excellent and the school's safeguarding arrangements as outstanding. The KHDA inspection notes outstanding performance in Students' personal development, and that the well-being of staff and students is a priority embedded in school life. A Pastoral Care team and senior leadership are described as key drivers of a safe, nurturing environment with open engagement with parents and students. CBSE Inclusive Education materials used by the school explicitly address mental health and life-skills development as part of inclusive practice. The school also references a PERMAH-based approach to safeguarding, aiming to foster positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement, and health in its culture. Evidence of explicit counselling and emotional support is reinforced in the school safeguarding framework, which includes access to counselling and emotional support services for students and staff.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Amity School Dubai publishes an Inclusion policy that states it provides an inclusive learning environment addressing intellectual, social, emotional and personal development, and welcomes students of determination with admission not conditional on diagnosis. Early identification of students of determination is practiced through observation and diagnostic assessments, with provisions planned at entry to ensure access to a broad and balanced curriculum. The KHDA report confirms that provision for the inclusion of students of determination is very strong, with overall provision in this area rated good in the latest inspection. The school maintains a Student's of Determination Policy as part of its ASD policies, and CBSE Inclusive Education materials outline the use of Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and targeted supports for learners with disabilities. The CBSE Handbook also covers disability-related accommodations, identification, and intervention pathways to support diverse learning needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The Amity School Dubai site publicly lists Second Language offerings in the Primary curriculum (Hindi, French, Malayalam, Tamil), indicating language provision beyond English. There is no clearly described, school-level EAL department or explicit EAL programme publicly documented on the ASD site. The inclusion framework references equitable access to learning for all learners, including those who may require additional support, which aligns with inclusive practice for language learners. Public information does not specify a dedicated EAL strand or withdrawal/in-class support model for English as an additional language. Given the available materials, the school does not publicly disclose specific EAL programmes, though language options are present in the curriculum.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is embedded in Amity School Dubai's approach to learning, with explicit focus on personal and social development and a culture of happiness as part of the well-being ethos highlighted by KHDA. The CBSE Inclusive Education Handbook includes sections on the mental health of children and life skills, guiding teachers in supporting emotional and social needs. The safeguarding policy design includes emotional support elements and access to counselling services for students and staff. The leadership and pastoral care structures emphasize nurturing, relationships and resilience as core outcomes for learners. The school also references mindfulness and resilience-building elements as part of its ongoing learning programmes.

Safeguarding
The Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy establishes Amity School Dubai's commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of all students, with procedures aligned to UAE guidelines and KHDA expectations. A dedicated safeguarding committee includes a designated safeguarding lead (Principal) and a deputy, with clear roles for medical staff, school nurses, counsellors, and other leaders; the policy also references strong links with local authorities and external agencies for safeguarding matters. The policy covers mandatory reporting, safeguarding training for staff, safe recruitment, and the involvement of parents and external partners to safeguard students. The PERMAH framework and a culture of vigilance underpin prevention, protection and support, with explicit procedures on disclosure, reporting, and support. Counselling and emotional support services are available for students and staff as part of safeguarding provisions.
