The school identifies students with additional needs early and works with parents and teachers to provide appropriate resources and interventions.

Early identification of additional educational needs is pursued, with assessment and provision of support using available resources; external services may be connected as needed.

The school has a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) policy. SEND refers to pupils with individual learning needs such as dyslexia, ADD, or ADHD who have the academic capacity to meet all curriculum and assessment requirements, but who require Special Arrangements to demonstrate achievement. The SEND policy extends to pupils affected by a temporary, long-term or permanent disability or illness and information about SEND is treated as confidential. Special Arrangements for SEND pupils are made after consideration of each case and require formal documentation from a medical or psychological service; an accompanying person may be provided for pupils with limited mobility, vetted by the School. The SEND Coordinator acts as a liaison between the Cyprus Ministry of Education, relevant district committees and private psychologists, oversees SEND records, and liaises with parents and other professionals regarding SEND pupils. Heads of Year and Form Teachers coordinate pastoral support and ensure the SEND policy is implemented.
Pastoral care is coordinated by Heads of Year and Form Teachers who monitor pupils' well-being, development and conduct. A daily Form Period supports ongoing pastoral care and enables monitoring of personal, social and academic welfare. Guidance and support for studying are provided to help pupils address study skills, motivation, time management, stress, and exam preparation. PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) schemes of learning promote well-being, healthy relationships and resilience. The school emphasises early identification of pupils facing difficulties and works with parents and other staff to support their emotional health.
The School's Child Safeguarding Policy outlines actions to safeguard pupils in school and at home. The policy is based on the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, the European Convention on the Exercise of Children's Rights, the Cyprus Commissioner for the Protection of Children's Rights Law, and aligns with UK best practice and NSPCC guidelines. The welfare of the child is at the heart of the policy, and there is an emphasis on good communication between all staff and those designated for child safeguarding and protection. All members of staff are duty bound to help ensure the wellbeing and safeguarding of all the school's pupils. Aims include helping children develop in a safe environment, identifying those who may be suffering or vulnerable and taking appropriate action to safeguard those in need. The policy is read in conjunction with other policies such as the Study Guide, Rules and Regulations 2024-25 and the Staff Handbook 2024-25, and a safeguarding policy download is available.
