Aldenham Prep Riyadh

SEL at Aldenham Prep Riyadh is embedded in daily life through strong pastoral care. Pastoral care is at the heart of the school's approach to education. SEL is supported by a PSHE programme designed to promote well-being, confidence, and readiness for life beyond academics, with content covering physical health, mental health, and relationship health. The House system provides belonging and ongoing welfare support through personal tutors and Housemasters, complemented by a School Chaplain who offers pastoral and spiritual guidance. All staff are trained in safeguarding to help maintain a safe and supportive environment.

Information publicly available for Aldenham Prep Riyadh does not describe any dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision. It does not specify which types of SEN the school can support or whether it operates as a specialist SEN institution. There is no mention of an Academic Learning Support department or intensive one to one interventions in the documented materials. In contrast, SEN related information is published for Aldenham UK which describes a small Academic Learning Support unit, but that does not confirm availability at the Riyadh campus. Therefore, SEN provision for the Riyadh campus is not publicly disclosed.

Information publicly available for Aldenham Prep Riyadh does not describe any dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision. The curriculum is described as tailored for Riyadh with Arabic Language central, and there is no explicit mention of EAL staff, programmes or classes. The site does not disclose EAL support details. Therefore, EAL provision is not publicly disclosed. No further EAL information is publicly available beyond the current materials.

Mental wellbeing is supported through well established pastoral care within the Aldenham network, including a Health Centre and access to medical staff for preventative care and wellbeing support. The Health Centre is supported by a qualified nurse and, for boarding students, a School Doctor, with additional mental health resources as part of the Life Matters and pastoral framework. Short periods of counselling are available, with referrals to Private therapy or CAMHS if more is needed. A School Chaplain provides pastoral and spiritual support, including assemblies and one to one listening when needed. PSHE programs include mental health education as part of holistic development.

Safeguarding at Aldenham Prep Riyadh is a priority, with ALL staff trained in safeguarding and a dedicated safeguarding team in place. The safeguarding team works with families and external agencies to support pupils and ensure a safe environment.

A safeguarding policy is published and available, outlining procedures and protections. These standards reflect the safeguarding framework used across the Aldenham group.
