PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic) programme is an integral part of pastoral care and safeguarding, providing age-appropriate topics including emotional wellbeing, relationships, and personal safety. All pupils participate in a programme focused on personal and social development, with regular assemblies for reflection on school life and world events. Class and form tutors monitor wellbeing daily and maintain strong communication with parents; pastoral teams are supported by a counselling team and by student leadership, including Prefects and Peer Mentors. The wellbeing framework includes dedicated teams to promote physical and mental wellness and to help students build resilience in a supportive school culture.
Pupils learning English as an additional language receive customised support within the classroom or through specialised programmes. In Upper Primary, EAL support is provided; in Secondary, the IGCSE and other programmes are adapted to meet ESL needs. New starters are offered additional language support as required, and German language courses are available for learners at various levels.
The wellbeing provision includes a broad range of initiatives led by dedicated wellbeing teams and student leaders to promote physical and mental wellness. The programme emphasises emotional safety, psychological wellbeing, and resilience, with access to counselling and a pastoral environment that supports student welfare.
Child protection and safeguarding are top priorities. The Designated Safeguarding Lead oversees safeguarding procedures and ongoing updates; staff and volunteers undergo thorough vetting; COBIS safeguarding best practices are followed to ensure a secure and supportive environment for every student.
