Jockey Club Sarah Roe School (JCSRS) embeds social and emotional learning across its curriculum through daily routines, therapy sessions, and enrichment activities. The school’s Wellbeing programme promotes resilience, positive relationships, and emotional health, supported by dedicated staff and an on-site School Nurse. Students participate in structured wellbeing sessions that focus on healthy nutrition, exercise, and emotional regulation. Collaboration with the Hong Kong Department of Health provides access to services such as the Student Health Service, School Dental Care Service, and Immunisation Programme. These provisions aim to build confidence, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills as part of everyday learning.
JCSRS is a specialist SEN school for students aged 5 to 19 with a wide range of learning needs, including cognitive, physical, sensory, and communication difficulties. The school offers integrated speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy, all delivered through a collaborative model alongside teachers and educational assistants. Learning is tailored through Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and supported by specialist facilities such as a hydrotherapy pool, sensory rooms, and soft play areas. Students at the secondary level can gain accreditation through ASDAN and the AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS). The curriculum and therapy programmes work together to foster independence, life skills, and meaningful community participation.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.
