Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning RBIS references SEL mainly through its pastoral care framework and its Nurture Group, a small, specialized class that targets both academic and social‑emotional development for learners struggling to access the curriculum. The school also uses Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs) with clear goals and strategies to promote positive behavior. Its well-being pages describe a threefold focus on pastoral care, personalized learning and student well‑being.	Social & emotional learning Wellbeing is integrated throughout school life. The school has designated student Wellbeing Ambassadors (from Year 11–12), offers group and individual counselling, morning exercise programmes, mindfulness activities, and promotes a culture of emotional awareness and community care.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) RBIS states that families can consult the school SENCo; provision can include IEPs (Individual Education Plans), BSPs, teaching assistant support, and the Nurture Group for students who need a modified pace and environment. The Thai-language SEN page adds that support may involve curriculum/teaching adjustments, health‑professional advice, and peer-circle arrangements; needs are reviewed to ensure support is “adequate and effective.” The site does not describe RBIS as a specialist SEN school; it presents SEN provision within a mainstream international school setting.	Special educational needs (SEN) S107 operates a formal Inclusion and Learning Support Department, built on the British model of Assess–Plan–Do–Review. This department supports students with a range of learning needs, from mild to more complex, through a tiered system of low, medium, and high levels of support. Each student receives an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) tailored to their educational and personal development goals. Services Offered: In-class support, small group interventions, and one-on-one sessions delivered by trained learning support specialists. Collaboration with external professionals for educational psychology assessments, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy where needed. For older students, especially those in Years 10–13, the school provides alternative academic pathways such as the ASDAN programme, which supports students who may not follow the IGCSE or IB Diploma tracks. Integration: Where possible, students are included in mainstream classes with accommodations. The school prioritizes ensuring access to learning while addressing individual barriers, in both academic and co-curricular areas.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language RBIS runs an EAL programme and places students using internal English assessments aligned to CEFR levels. Students close to CEFR B1 join mainstream lessons with targeted in‑class language support; those below B1 may enter the English Language Centre (ELC) for more intensive provision before progressively transitioning to full timetables. The site notes that all teachers are qualified specialists and classes are small, enabling individual attention.	English as an additional language The school does offer EAL.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing RBIS publishes a well‑being page stating that student well‑being is embedded alongside pastoral care and personalized learning. The page defines well‑being and positions it as a core part of school life, but does not name a counselling team, referral pathway, or formal mental‑health programme. Broader pastoral statements reiterate individualized attention and student well‑being as a core strand.	Mental wellbeing S107 offers counselling for both primary and secondary students through individual and group sessions, play therapy, and collaboration with parents and teachers. Two full-time social-emotional counsellors and a play therapist are available on campus, and referrals to external services are provided when needed. A university counsellor also supports students with applications, university planning, and related workshops. The school has a dedicated wellbeing team, student wellbeing ambassadors, and initiatives like morning exercise, mindfulness activities, and the annual Be Well Day. Staff are trained in mental health first aid, and wellbeing is supported across the whole school community.
Safeguarding	Safeguarding RBIS International School has a comprehensive safeguarding policy covering all students, overseen by Designated Safeguarding Leads and a board representative. The policy outlines clear procedures for reporting and responding to concerns, including escalation to local authorities if necessary. All staff undergo regular safeguarding training and follow strict codes of conduct, with safer recruitment practices in place. Students are supported through PSHEE lessons, online safety education, and anti-bullying initiatives. The policy is reviewed annually by the school’s Board of Management.	Safeguarding S107 follows strict safeguarding practices to ensure student safety and wellbeing. All staff and volunteers undergo background checks and regular safeguarding training. The school promotes a culture of care through strong staff-student relationships, student voice initiatives, PSHE programmes, and a mentor system.
