Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

BIBA describes SEL as embedded across its bilingual IB-based curriculum through character education, virtue education and the school's “4R” (Respect, Responsibility, Rigor, Relationships) character system. Early Years and Primary pages describe classroom approaches that develop social and emotional skills through play-based inquiry, paired Chinese/English teachers, monthly themes and regular home–school collaboration (parent workshops, portfolios and conferences). The school also cites whole-school initiatives such as a House System and extensive extracurricular activities (200+ ECAs) that the school says foster collaboration, resilience and leadership. These provisions are described on the Early Years and Primary sections of the school website.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

BIBA's public pages describe tiered and personalised support strategies—for example ‘flexible tiered instruction, inclusive classrooms, and personalized mentoring' and targeted academic coaching in secondary years—but they do not list specific categories of special educational needs (e.g., dyslexia, ASD, ADHD) or specialist SEN staff on the website. The Middle/High School and Primary curriculum pages reference data-driven assessment and personalised learning pathways as part of their support approach. The school's site does not publicly specify which distinct SEN diagnoses it supports or claim to be a specialist SEN institution.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

BIBA publishes an English Language Development (ELD) programme for multilingual learners that uses formal assessments (MAP and WIDA) to create personalised learning goals and growth pathways. The Primary and school curriculum pages describe ELD as integrated across subjects through project-based learning and a full-cycle support system from classroom teaching to extracurricular activities. The school also offers Chinese-as-a-second-language provision (CSL) alongside ELD as part of its bilingual model. These details are provided on the Primary/Academics and ELD pages of the school website.

Mental Wellbeing

BIBA's site states the school promotes students' physical and emotional wellbeing through its curriculum emphasis on balanced body and mind, character education and school health measures. The Early Years page notes an on‑campus nurse, a health and safety management system, and nutrition provision; Primary and Middle School pages reference character education, the House System and personalised mentoring as supports for psychological safety. The Child Protection page frames wellbeing alongside safeguarding as part of the school's approach to preventing and responding to harm. These provisions are described on the Early Years, Primary and Child Protection pages.

Safeguarding

BIBA's Child Protection page defines safeguarding and child protection, explains the distinction between them, and indicates the school has designated Safeguarding Leads and Child Protection Officers. The Primary School site also lists ‘Child Protection and Psychological Safety' within its Student Well‑being and Values framework. The Child Protection page is the main public source for these statements; the site does not publish detailed named contact lists or a full public child‑protection policy text on the pages accessed.
