The British School of Beijing Sanlitun

The school teaches PSHE and runs whole-school wellbeing work that includes a twice-weekly wellbeing session where pupils learn breathing, guided meditation and anxiety-management techniques. The school describes a Wellbeing Committee that organises activities such as Children's Mental Health Week and Anti-Bullying Week to support social and emotional learning. Staff develop pupils' metacognitive skills through Thinking Routines and promote six core character traits (the “6 Cs”) across the curriculum. Leadership and community roles such as Head Boy/Girl, Student Council and House Captains are used to develop teamwork and responsibility.

The school states it can put families in contact with specialist support services (counsellors, family therapists, child and educational psychologists and therapists) and refers families to external specialists where needed. The site notes teachers provide emotional and wellbeing support and that, if required, a plan will be developed in partnership with parents to ensure a student feels safe and supported. The school does not present itself on its website as a specialist SEN institution, and it does not publish a detailed list of specific categories of special educational needs it will or will not support. For more specialised or long‑term interventions the school points to external professionals and collaboration with families.

The school states that high‑quality EAL tuition is provided for non‑native English speakers and that EAL support is available to help students become confident communicators. Regular school news and programme descriptions show EAL lessons tied into year‑group themes and vocabulary work, with small‑group and classroom language activities reported in recent updates. Mandarin is also integrated into the school day for students not enrolled in EAL. The school's website provides multiple EAL news items illustrating classroom activities and outcomes.

The school describes a whole‑school approach to wellbeing that includes twice‑weekly wellbeing sessions teaching breathing, concentration and calming techniques, and guided meditation in early years classes. There is a Wellbeing Committee that organises wellbeing events and the school says teachers provide emotional support in partnership with parents; where additional help is needed they refer families to external counsellors and specialists. The school also records a relationship with local health providers for family health checks and specialist referrals. Wellbeing resources are also available to families through the Nord Anglia Global Campus.
