ABC has a holistic pastoral care program focused on the academic, social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing of every student. Form Tutors in Secondary and Class Teachers in Primary and Preschool provide daily contact and act as the main link between school and home. A team of specialists provides additional support within the pastoral framework. PSHCE addresses personal, social, health, community and emotional education, coordinated by the PSHCE Coordinator in Primary and by Heads of Key Stages in Secondary. Student voice is supported through class representatives and dedicated Student Voice Coordinators in the Primary and Secondary stages.
Inclusive Learning ensures universal learning with differentiation in the classroom. For students needing additional help, targeted support and inclusive education plans are provided, led by a Director of Inclusion and SEN coordinators, with reviews involving parents. English as an Additional Language is identified and supported with in-class materials tailored to the learner, in-class support from staff, or English intervention sessions, and decisions require parental consent and rationale. Up to 15% of the community are identified as having learning difficulties, and inclusive practices aim to remove barriers to learning. Access provisions, such as lifts, support practical participation, and where needed external agencies may be involved to support a learner.
Information is mainly delivered in English. Additional support for EAL students is provided to enable access and improve English language skills, including in-class adaptations, in-class support, or targeted English intervention sessions. No decision on these supports is made without full parental consent and rationale.
Pastoral care includes a focus on emotional wellbeing, with daily or tutorial-time discussions to support students' moods and progress. The pastoral team and the School Counsellor are available to help students, and there are pathways to access a school psychologist and other support networks as needed.
There are designated safeguarding leads for Preschool, Primary and Secondary: Gunel Mammadli (Preschool), Gunay Huseynli (Primary), and Nargiz Mammadova (Secondary). They respond to safeguarding concerns, raise awareness of conduct, maintain confidential records and liaise with external agencies as required. Staff are trained in safeguarding policies, and a culture of open communication ensures students feel safe, heard and valued; safeguarding procedures are coordinated with SENCo and counselors to support vulnerable students.
