Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

SEAL (Social Emotional Aspects of Learning) is taught in the primary school afternoon timetable. The school emphasizes a bilingual, inclusive community and uses group and project work to strengthen collaboration, self-confidence, and social skills. Children learn in a bilingual environment with native-speaking teachers guiding learning in German and English, which supports intercultural understanding. The approach focuses on personal development through hands-on, collaborative activities and language-rich experiences. This environment aims to nurture resilience, empathy, and confidence within a bilingual setting.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Two educational specialists per class provide targeted, individual development support. Small-group targeted assistance helps children learn at their own pace, while inclusive projects and diverse teaching methods support a wide range of abilities. A tailored remedial programme addresses specific needs in German (DaZ) and English (ESL), with DaZ and ESL teachers collaborating with subject teachers and the support coordinator. The school coordinates language support with the broader classroom to ensure coherent progress. The overall structure supports inclusive education and differentiated learning pathways.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

German and English are taught as equal campus languages with immersion facilitated by native-speaking teachers. Instruction occurs in both languages, enabling holistic language learning and bilingual proficiency by the end of primary school. Additional language support is provided through DaZ (German as a Second Language) and ESL (English as a Second Language) programmes, staffed by dedicated teachers who collaborate with subject teachers. Multilingualism is a core focus, reflecting the school's bilingual model and intercultural emphasis.

Mental Wellbeing

SEAL and social-emotional learning are integrated into the curriculum, supporting emotional development alongside academic growth. Group and project work foster collaboration, empathy, and self-confidence, helping students navigate social dynamics. After-school care provides a stable, supervised environment with routines up to 18:00, contributing to students' wellbeing and security. The bilingual, intercultural setting nurtures tolerance, respect for others, and emotional resilience. The school aims to create a safe, supportive space where students can express themselves and grow emotionally.

Safeguarding

The school presents a safe and secure learning environment with guaranteed teaching and no cancelled lessons. A safe space to learn and grow is emphasized throughout the school's approach. After-school and holiday programmes extend supervision and routines to ensure safeguarding beyond the school day. Attentive staff and a child-centered approach support learners' wellbeing and safety, with consistent structures and supervision throughout the day.
