Social and emotional learning (SEL) is supported by British School Salalah's Pastoral Care, which focuses on personal and social development and well-being as part of a broad, balanced curriculum aimed at building self-esteem and healthy lifestyle choices; this is reinforced by student leadership programs and a four-house system (Oryxes, Wolves, Falcons, Leopards) that promote responsibility, teamwork and social values, with House Captains leading activities.
The Admissions Policy states the school can provide support for English language acquisition and for pupils with certain special educational needs, but capacity is limited and significant additional support may not be available; pupils with additional needs are assessed to determine if the school can meet their needs, and if not, the school will help identify a more suitable placement.
Entry requirements require an age-appropriate level of English, and the Admissions Policy notes capacity to provide English as an additional language support; pupils with EAL or SEN will meet with staff to determine if the school can help them access the curriculum, and guidance exists on developing English as an Additional Language.
Mental wellbeing is supported through Pastoral Care, which aims to foster personal and social development and self-esteem, with additional structures such as the Student Leadership program and the House system that promote belonging, collaboration and social responsibility.
Safeguarding is a core priority with clear procedures to safeguard pupils, families and staff and to promote welfare; all staff and volunteers are expected to uphold this commitment.
