The Giving Tree International School

The Giving Tree says it delivers the IB Primary Years Programme and uses the PYP Learner Profile to encourage personal development, social skills and student responsibility as part of inquiry-based learning. The Primary Programme page states the school seeks to develop students “socially, physically and mentally” and promotes Learner Profile attributes. Early-years activities such as circle time, music and movement are described on the Baby Playgroup page as part of social and motor-skill development. The site also emphasises parental partnership and open communication between parents and teachers as part of students' development. These statements are presented on the school website.

The school's Admissions & Inclusion Policy states TGTIS welcomes students with a variety of abilities and learning needs and can offer Learning Support, but the number of students who can be supported is limited by available resources. The policy says some staff are qualified to support learners with learning disabilities and that the school will work with external Special Needs specialists to create bespoke programmes. It requires parents to submit special-needs documentation (for example IEPs, psychological reports, speech and language reports and teacher recommendations) and reserves the right to request specialist evaluation before admission. The policy also states the school is not a specialist SEN institution and explicitly says it cannot accept students requiring wheelchair access because of the historic nature of its buildings. These points are taken from the school's publicly posted Admissions & Inclusion Policy.

The Admissions & Inclusion Policy describes an optional, fee-based EAL programme run on a pull-out basis for learners whose English ability is restricting progress; the policy states the programme is offered at a stated hourly rate. The policy frames EAL as optional and targetted for learners identified as lacking English and limiting progress in other subjects. The information about the EAL programme and its pull-out structure appears in the school's Admissions & Inclusion documentation. If you'd like, I can extract the exact sentence or the current hourly rate from the document.

The school does not publish a separate mental-health programme page, but the Admissions & Inclusion Policy lists counselling among possible specialist interventions (alongside shadow assistants, speech and language and occupational therapy) that may be used where additional support is agreed. The school's use of the IB PYP and references to personal development and a nurturing environment also indicate wellbeing is part of its educational approach. Beyond those statements, the website does not publish a detailed, standalone mental-health or wellbeing policy. All items above are taken from the school's public pages and policy documents.
