Pastoral care at ISOP extends beyond welfare to foster students' personal development as much as their academic progress. Each year group has a Form Tutor or Class Teacher who monitors wellbeing, behaviour, attendance, and academic demands, with a Leader overseeing year‑level progress. A School Counsellor provides a confidential space for students to discuss concerns, and parents can request meetings with the counsellor. Designated safeguarding leaders support students, and staff are trained to respond to safeguarding needs.
The Enhancement Centre provides additional academic support within the school to students who may have particular learning and assessment requirements. It supports both SEN and EAL, with SEN providing support for specific diagnosed learning difficulties across all subjects and EAL assisting students in specific subjects where language presents a barrier. EAL support includes simplifying material, slower-paced revision, and greater emphasis on subject‑specific vocabulary to enable full curriculum access. Curriculum support and enrichment are offered to meet diverse needs and to extend learning where appropriate.
The Enhancement Centre provides English as an Additional Language (EAL) support to help students access the curriculum. EAL support includes simplifying material, slower-paced revision, and a strong emphasis on subject‑specific vocabulary across relevant subjects. EAL assistance is designed to reduce language barriers and enable students to participate fully in lessons. ISOP follows the English National Curriculum.
ISOP provides mental wellbeing support through its pastoral care program. A School Counsellor is available for students who need to talk about concerns; there is a safe space where worries can be discussed and a plan formed to help with difficulties or anxiety. Heads of Year and class tutors monitor wellbeing, behaviour, attendance, and academic demands to address issues early. The pastoral team supports personal development alongside academic progress.
The School's Child Safeguarding Policy outlines measures to protect and support students at school and at home. The policy aligns with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the European Convention on the exercise of Children's Rights, Cyprus law, and UK NSPCC guidelines. The welfare of the child and a culture of vigilance are central to the policy, and all staff are duty-bound to safeguard students. Contact ISOP at 100, Aristotelous Savva Av., 8025 Anavargos, P.O.
