Learnlife supports social-emotional learning through personal mentoring and supportive relationships, fostering a sense of belonging in a diverse community. The programme sparks curiosity and makes learning meaningful and hands-on, with learners taking charge of their learning. Learners build confidence through mentoring and by pursuing real-world projects with guidance from teachers and mentors. A Pathways Programme helps learners translate interests into concrete next steps with guidance and structure. When additional support is needed, the team co-creates individualized plans, with explicit focus on social-emotional growth and wellbeing.
Learnlife provides learning support led by a Learning Support Lead, with Learning Guides and Assistants. Personalised plans are co-created with families and may involve coordination with external specialists such as psychologists and speech therapists. Areas of support include language acquisition for non-native speakers; executive functioning, literacy and numeracy; social-emotional growth and wellbeing; and pathways for gifted learners. Support is delivered by Learning Guides and Assistants with options for external specialist involvement to meet individual goals.
Our programmes are delivered in English. We offer Spanish and Catalan to develop language skills, and Learning Guides are multilingual and speak English, Spanish and Catalan.
There is a clear focus on social-emotional growth and wellbeing as part of learner support. Learners receive mentoring to support personal development, and progress is tracked through the Learning Vitae and 360 assessments. Pathways for future planning and showcases provide opportunities to reflect on growth and plan next steps.
The Learnlife Child Protection Policy prioritises the safety of learners. The policy outlines roles such as a Hub Child Protection Officer and a Child Protection Response Team, mandatory annual professional development for staff, and reporting obligations by law. It covers disclosures, investigations, and communications, and provides resources for staff and parents. In certain cases, external child protection investigators may be engaged. The policy aligns with international human rights standards and applicable national laws.
