Curriculum

British International School Al Khobar (BISAK) follows the English National Curriculum across all phases, from Nursery to Year 13, with English as the language of instruction and a structure comprising Preparatory School (Nursery–Year 6), Senior School (Year 7–11), and Sixth Form (Year 12–13). EYFS (Nursery and Reception) uses a play‑based Early Years framework with seven areas of learning, and Year 1–2 follow the National Curriculum with phonics, reading, and writing as part of the transition to more formal teaching. In Senior School, KS3 covers Years 7–9 and KS4 covers Years 10–11, with the English National Curriculum and school adaptations; Year 9 moves into iGCSE/GCSE options within a Core Curriculum (English Language and English Literature, Mathematics, and General PE) and optional subject choices. GCSE/IGCSE options include a Core Curriculum and an Optional Curriculum with subjects such as Arabic, Art & Design, Business Studies, Computer Science, Design & Technology, Double/Triple Science, Economics, French, Geography, History, ICT, Music, Physical Education, Psychology, Sociology, among others; the GCSE/IGCSE Information Booklet details six‑option blocks and the Edexcel/Cambridge boards.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

SEL at BISAK is primarily supported through its Pastoral Support service. Teachers refer pupils for confidential pastoral support provided by BISAK staff, with meetings kept confidential unless agreed with the pupil and parent. The Designated Safeguarding Lead is kept informed of pupils seen by pastoral care, ensuring welfare concerns are followed up. The pastoral program includes small-group sessions to help pupils explore and set goals about treating each other well, building trust and positive communication. The school also provides medical health resources through on-site nurses to support overall pupil wellbeing.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

BISAK recognises that pupils with additional needs can face safeguarding challenges and provides special consideration for SEN/additional needs within its safeguarding framework. The safeguarding policy notes that some pupils have SEN or additional needs and should receive special consideration in equality, highlighting BISAK's awareness of SEN within safeguarding. The policy identifies designated safeguarding leads and staff responsibilities for safeguarding, but it does not publicly disclose a dedicated SEN department or detailed, school-wide SEN services beyond safeguarding considerations.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school does not publicly disclose a standalone EAL programme or dedicated EAL staff on the BISAK site. The safeguarding policy, however, notes that pupils who have English as an additional language should receive special consideration in safeguarding, indicating awareness of EAL within safeguarding contexts.

Mental Wellbeing

Mental wellbeing is supported via BISAK's Pastoral Support and on-site medical facilities. The school's pastoral care service provides confidential support for nominated pupils, with group sessions aimed at fostering respectful, positive communication. Nursing staff operate from a well-equipped medical room to maintain pupil health and safety, supplemented by first-aid trained personnel. These provisions work together to support pupils' overall wellbeing and respond to welfare concerns as needed.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding and child protection are treated as a whole-school priority with aims to safeguard and promote welfare. All staff receive safeguarding guidance and annual training, and designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) are part of the Extended Leadership Team with deputies available to cover when needed. The DSLs are responsible for child protection and safeguarding, with safeguarding embedded in school ethos and Safer Recruitment procedures. The policy outlines clear roles for the ELT and Board to oversee safeguarding, and references reporting to appropriate authorities as required, including the UK Embassy and the Ministry of Education in KSA. The Saudi Child helpline 116 111 is available for safeguarding concerns, and online safety is addressed within the policy alongside procedures for reporting and record-keeping.

Pastoral care aims to nurture happy, resilient, and adaptable learners, with wellbeing at the heart of learning. Dedicated teachers provide personalised care, guiding each girl through her learning journey and helping build resilience and self-esteem. The school emphasises an all-girls environment and Downe House DNA values—Compassion, Collaboration, Resilience, Creativity, Aspiration, Communication, Outward Looking, and Digital Ready—to foster confidence and leadership. Be Well Charter is applied across daily routines, incorporating six pillars, healthy food choices, regular physical activity, and volunteering opportunities such as the Sparkle Foundation to support social engagement. This Be Well framework supports SEL within the school's broader wellbeing and safeguarding culture.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Learning Support for mild-to-moderate SEN is provided through a dedicated Learning Support Department. Every student requiring learning support has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) outlining specific strategies to access the curriculum.

The school describes its SEN provision as inclusive and delivered through the Learning Support Department rather than a specialist external centre. It does not indicate operating a dedicated specialist SEN institution.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English as an Additional Language (EAL) is supported through a comprehensive EAL programme. The EAL provision includes group sessions, one-to-one tuition, and access to online activities and mentoring. Students receiving EAL support are regularly assessed, with progress monitored and interventions adjusted as needed. EAL support may be identified at admission or as a student progresses through the school. Additional charges apply for specialist EAL tuition.

Mental Wellbeing

Mental wellbeing is central to Downe House Riyadh's Be Well Charter approach. The Charter guides practice across six pillars intended to support both emotional and physical health. Daily routines include regular physical activity and healthy food choices to promote wellbeing. The Sparkle Foundation partnership engages students and families in volunteering, helping build social connections and a sense of purpose. Wellbeing is embedded in the pastoral framework to ensure students are supported holistically.

Safeguarding

Downe House Riyadh commits to safeguarding by ensuring every child is protected and has a safe, inclusive environment. Safeguarding principles are universal and apply across Cognita schools, developed by the Cognita Safeguarding Specialist Team and aligned with international child-protection standards. Staff are educated about categories of abuse and their duty to act in the best interests of the child. The framework emphasises knowing the children well, offering timely support for adverse experiences, and empowering students to voice concerns. It requires that every adult who works with the school is safe to work with.
