Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is a core element of Hampton Heights International School's wellbeing framework. The Wellbeing Policy describes wellbeing as holistic development across academic, physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual domains, and explicitly identifies SEL as a protective factor that supports social skills, empathy, and emotional intelligence. The policy outlines a continuum of support for wellbeing, including access to counselling and tailored wellbeing programs. Leadership for wellbeing is provided by the Head of Inclusive Education & Pastoral Care, with a whole‑school approach that involves collaboration with families. The framework promotes strong relationships, belonging, and inclusive practices as central to SEL across the school community.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Most students' needs are met through high‑quality, differentiated teaching within the mainstream classroom. For those requiring additional support, tailored plans such as Individual Education Plans (IEPs) or Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) are developed in collaboration with families and specialists to ensure personalised learning pathways. The school recognises Gifted and Talented students through ongoing teacher observation and appropriate enrichment. Students needing English as an Additional Language (EAL) support are also accommodated within the inclusion framework. Hampton Heights is not described as a specialist SEN institution; inclusion is managed primarily within mainstream classes with targeted supports as needed.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
EAL support is provided as part of the inclusion framework, with targeted programmes and resources for learners. During the admissions process, the student's current English proficiency is assessed to determine the level of EAL support required. All teachers are trained to meet diverse learning needs, including EAL students, Students of Determination, and Gifted and Talented learners. EAL provisions are designed to help students access the curriculum and participate fully in class.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is a central focus of the Wellbeing Policy, which promotes mental health awareness, early identification, and timely intervention. The policy supports access to counselling and wellbeing programs as part of comprehensive student support. It also prescribes actions such as getting students active, prioritising outdoor play, healthy eating, adequate sleep, and managing technology to promote wellbeing. The Wellbeing Policy is led by the Head of Inclusive Education & Pastoral Care, reinforcing a school‑wide approach to mental health and resilience.

Safeguarding
Safeguarding and child protection are defined as a priority in the Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy, which lists key roles such as the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Designated Child Protection Lead (DCPL), and Deputy DCPO. The policy includes Early Help procedures and whole‑school strategies to promote safety, along with access to the school clinic and counselors. It outlines reporting concerns, staff obligations, and procedures for allegations, with clear channels for notifying parents and external authorities when needed. The safeguarding arrangements are subject to KHDA inspection, and the policy provides signs to recognise concerns and formal steps for action, including flow charts for non‑immediate danger scenarios.
