Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school places language learning at the heart of Primary education, with French, Greek, and English taught from early years to foster multilingual communication and cultural openness. The curriculum supports students' participation in choral activities, and a primary school choir exists with opportunities to perform publicly (e.g., in front of the Cypriot parliament in 2023).

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

An inclusive school approach prioritizes students with special educational needs; dedicated staff supervise and support SEN students and design personalised plans with regular follow-up to meet each student's needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Language learning has a central role in Primary education, with three languages taught: French, Greek, and English.

Mental Wellbeing

Student wellbeing is a core priority, with an anti-bullying policy and established protocols to identify, report, and address bullying in collaboration with families; additional support is provided for students with special educational needs.

Safeguarding

Governing bodies and school leadership emphasize safeguarding, including safety drills for fire and other risks, and processes to identify students at risk and coordinate with the educational team; anti-bullying policies and wellbeing measures further support safeguarding.
