Royal Flight School integrates Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as part of its curriculum through Personal, Social & Emotional Development (PSHE) in the Early Years and across all year groups. In Early Years, Personal, Social & Emotional Development is listed as a core component of the curriculum. Where appropriate, Learning Support and English as an Additional Language (EAL) are provided to support students' social and emotional development. The school delivers the core curriculum with specialist staff for Art, Drama, Music, Physical Education, French and Arabic, which facilitates collaboration and peer interaction that supports SEL. The Learning Support Team includes a Deputy Head of Pastoral Care and staff such as a Speech & Language Therapist, underpinning SEL with targeted pastoral and language support. The environment is described as cheerful, secure, and inclusive, with discipline that is firm and caring and based on mutual respect and community life.

Royal Flight School provides Learning Support and English as an Additional Language (EAL) where appropriate across the Primary range (from Early Years to Year 6). The Learning Support Team comprises the Deputy Head Pastoral Care and other staff, including Miss James, a Speech & Language Therapist, who supports speech and language needs as part of Learning Support. The curriculum specifies that Learning Support and EAL are provided where appropriate, but there is no explicit reference to a dedicated specialist SEN unit in publicly available materials. The school's SEN provision appears to be delivered through Learning Support and Speech & Language Therapy rather than a separate specialist facility. Public-facing materials describe these provisions without listing additional specific SEN categories.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is available where appropriate for pupils across the school, including Early Years through Year 6. EAL and Learning Support are noted as offerings in the curriculum, with delivery by specialist staff where appropriate. The Early Years and Key Stage 1 sections explicitly state that Learning Support and EAL are provided where appropriate. For expatriate pupils, Arabic as a second language is offered from Year 3 to Year 6 as part of the curriculum. EAL provision is therefore integrated alongside other specialist teaching within the school.

Mental wellbeing is supported through a pastoral care framework and the school's ethos, described as a happy, secure, and inclusive environment. The Deputy Head (Pastoral Care) leads pastoral initiatives, and the Learning Support Team includes staff such as a Speech & Language Therapist who can support social communication and wellbeing. The environment is reinforced as a place where discipline is firm and caring, based on mutual respect and community life. These elements together provide access to pastoral and language support as part of promoting students' mental wellbeing.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding or child protection policies. However, publicly available materials show a pastoral care structure led by a Deputy Head of Pastoral Care and a Learning Support Team that includes a Speech & Language Therapist, indicating welfare and safeguarding-related support mechanisms. The School operates under the patronage of Royal Court Affairs with governance that includes representation from the Ministry of Education, which provides context for safeguarding practices. Public materials also describe a friendly, secure environment and a commitment to discipline based on mutual respect and community life.
