The school explicitly states that it develops students' social and emotional learning through positive interactions with teachers and peers and aims to build confident, resilient learners. SISC's published student profile and personal goals emphasise attributes such as “Confident,” “Reflective,” and “Responsible,” which underpin its SEL approach. The school also runs community wellbeing events that include mindfulness and family‑focused sessions, for example hosting a talk on “Emotional Well‑Being in Families.” SISC lists a Student Affairs Office as part of its support structure, which the school presents as contributing to students' pastoral care.
SISC's admissions information states the school has a Learning Support Department and describes itself as an inclusive school that considers applicants with additional needs. A public job description for a Learning Support role describes managing a Learning Support Centre and working with learning support assistants and teachers, indicating an operational in‑school learning support function. A third‑party school listing also reports that the school operates learning‑support and SEN services and mentions examples such as dyslexia and autism support and external collaboration, but those specific claims come from an external directory rather than the school website. The school website does not publish a detailed list of which specific SEN conditions it supports nor does it describe itself as a specialist SEN institution.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.
SISC's website and news pages describe wellbeing activity for students and families, including a published event on mindfulness and emotional‑wellbeing featuring an external speaker.

The school also promotes a culture described as a “warm, safe and happy environment” in its public messaging. There is no separate, detailed mental‑health programme or school counselling policy published on the website.
