Shanghai Hong Qiao International School

HQIS describes a “whole‑person” / character‑development approach and lists student societies, service committees and programmes that support student development, which align with social‑emotional aims. However, the school does not appear to publish a named, detailed SEL curriculum or a clear staff structure for an SEL programme on its publicly available pages. Information about pastoral structures or dedicated SEL staff (for example named social‑emotional counsellors or an SEL coordinator) is not publicly detailed in the sources reviewed. Families should contact the school directly for up‑to‑date, specific information about SEL delivery and staffing.

HQIS advertises on public profiles that it provides a Learning Support programme and employs learning‑support staff to assist students with additional needs, and third‑party school listings state there is a Learning Support Coordinator who works with teachers to create classroom modifications. These sources describe the provision as a limited programme for students with mild learning needs rather than a full specialist SEN school. The school is therefore not presented as a specialist SEN institution; instead it offers in‑school learning support and individualised classroom adjustments. For details about which specific needs are supported and assessment or referral processes, the school should be contacted directly.

Publicly available profiles for HQIS list EAL (English as an Additional Language) provision and describe EAL as an offered/enhanced programme and an extension activity for students still developing English language skills. Several third‑party school summaries explicitly list EAL classes or EAL support among the school's language offerings. The exact structure (levels, timetabling, or named EAL staff) is not fully detailed on the sources reviewed, so parents should request the school's current EAL programme outline for specifics.

HQIS public summaries mention student societies, service committees and personalised college/career counselling which can contribute to student wellbeing, but those sources do not describe a named whole‑school mental‑health or wellbeing programme or a dedicated mental‑health team. At least one third‑party listing notes there is no on‑site educational psychologist reported in its profile of the school. The school does not publicly disclose detailed information about dedicated mental‑health staffing, counselling processes or wellbeing protocols in the materials reviewed; families seeking specifics (school counsellors, referral pathways, crisis procedures) should ask the school directly.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding and child protection in the sources reviewed. For authoritative information on HQIS's safeguarding policies, designated safeguarding officers, and child‑protection procedures, please request the school's safeguarding policy or confirmation from the school directly.
