Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school promotes social and emotional learning through its Homeroom programme, which runs weekly across all year groups. These sessions cover themes such as study skills, identity, healthy relationships, service projects, self-esteem, and mindfulness. In the Primary years, PSHE lessons (called ICARE) provide structured opportunities for students to learn about personal and social development, health, and well-being. Teachers, homeroom leaders, and school counsellors work together to provide guidance and support for students’ social and emotional growth.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school does not publicly disclose detailed information about its support for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school provides English Language Support (ELS) for students who require help improving their English skills. This support is integrated into the curriculum and aims to enable students to access mainstream lessons effectively.

Mental Wellbeing

Well-being is a stated focus of the school and is embedded in Homeroom programmes, PSHE lessons, and extra-curricular activities across all age groups. Students have access to staff such as class teachers, specialist teachers, and designated counsellors who help with personal concerns.

The school encourages a safe and supportive environment where students are valued and listened to, though no detailed mental health programmes are outlined publicly.

A Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and deputy DSLs are appointed, with their names shared with staff annually. Recruitment procedures include police checks and reference verification to ensure suitability for working with children. The policy also includes guidance on staff responsibilities, student education on personal safety, and the steps to follow when safeguarding concerns arise.
