Harrow Little Lions Kai Tak embeds Social and Emotional Learning within its curriculum through the Learning Discipline of “Emotional Development and Well-being.” Children learn to identify and express their emotions, develop empathy for others, and practise self-regulation through structured activities and daily interactions. The school emphasises close communication with families to help children feel safe, valued, and confident. Strong relationships between teachers, support staff, and pupils are a central part of the learning environment, encouraging emotional security and social growth.
Teachers provide differentiated support for children who may find aspects of learning challenging, working closely with parents to discuss progress and classroom strategies. The school does not publish detailed information about formal SEN programmes, specialist staff, or the specific types of needs it supports. It is not described as a specialist SEN institution.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision or any dedicated support for children learning English as a second language.
Emotional wellbeing forms an integral part of the curriculum, with explicit teaching around recognising emotions, empathy, and resilience. The Head’s Welcome notes that wellbeing is viewed as essential to effective learning, and staff work to create a caring, secure environment where children feel confident to explore and learn. Some staff have backgrounds that include wellbeing and early childhood development.
The school confirms that it maintains rigorous child protection and safeguarding policies, with all staff required to undertake regular training. These measures are designed to ensure that every child learns in a safe and supportive environment.
