Campion School provides a supportive environment where each pupil is treated as an individual and welfare is a shared responsibility of staff and peers. A comprehensive PSHE and RSHE programme develops personal and social skills. Pastoral care is led by the Assistant Head – Pastoral and supported by the school nurse. Pupils benefit from a structured routine with daily contact with teachers, attendance monitoring, proactive communication with families, and encouragement of physical activity and creative subjects to support well‑being and confidence.
Campion School uses a whole‑school approach to SEND. Pupils are assessed on entry to identify needs; most SEND provision is delivered within mainstream lessons with some Learning Support sessions. A Learning Support Coordinator oversees assessment and provision, and a dedicated Learning Support classroom and resources support pupils. Each learner in Learning Support has a Personal Education Plan; external assessments may be arranged with costs borne by parents. Greek is studied by nearly all pupils; Spanish or French is offered as a third language. In Senior School, the timetable may include Learning Support alongside language study, and admissions may involve specialist assessments when appropriate.
English is the language of instruction. In Senior School, pupils whose native language is not English sit an English test as part of the admissions process; English and other assessments are used to determine readiness. Greek is studied by nearly all pupils, with Spanish or French offered as a third language; EAL is timetabled alongside Greek, and Learning Support can be arranged where needed (with parental consent). External private support may be used when necessary, with costs borne by parents.
Emotional and psychological well‑being are a focus of Campion's provision. The school provides emotional and psychological support to pupils, recognizes the impact of online learning on well‑being, and maintains routines that include regular lessons, daily contact with teachers, and ongoing monitoring of attendance. Staff promote physical activity and creative subjects as part of the well‑being strategy, and families are encouraged to communicate concerns to the school.
Safeguarding is the highest priority. The policy outlines designated safeguarding leads for both Junior and Senior Schools and includes a School Nurse and safeguarding trustee. The school provides a safe environment, implements a comprehensive PSHE and RSHE programme, prohibits corporal punishment, and requires annual safeguarding training for staff. The procedures cover reporting concerns, working with external agencies, and safeguarding the welfare of pupils, including those with SEND or other vulnerabilities. The policy is reviewed annually.
