Myschool - Mallorca International School

Mallorca International School devotes a significant amount of time to teaching personal, social and health education (PSHE) as part of the British National Curriculum. This PSHE program helps students develop appropriate attitudes and understand the impact of their decisions on others. It also teaches students to recognise different risks in various situations and how to respond. The school applies a whole-school approach that creates a culture of zero tolerance for sexism, misogyny/misandry, homophobia, biophobia and sexual violence/harassment. The school maintains clear values and standards that underpin all aspects of school life, supported by the behaviour policy and pastoral care systems. The planned programme of RSHE is reinforced throughout the curriculum and the school is inclusive.

Mallorca International School integrates students with special educational needs into mainstream lessons with withdrawals kept to a minimum. It keeps a register of children with SEND and guides teachers regarding their needs. It supports teachers to design and update Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) for students who have SEND, and liaises with families and external centres to meet students' needs. Staff observe children in various settings (class, play, lunch, 1-1) to inform provision. The SEN department designs specific support groups (e.g., social skills, language support, maths support) and records Special Educational Provision Plans (SEPP) and IEPs, updating them periodically. The policy also specifies monitoring and review processes to ensure progress.

English is the language of study within a British education at Mallorca International School. Continued study in English enables children who are not native speakers to become bilingual, with a depth of English language knowledge. This approach reflects how a British education supports learners in acquiring English while pursuing another language pathway.

The safeguarding policy states that care, wellbeing and safety are central to every student and that students have the right to protection. Mental health is acknowledged as a potential concern, with anxiety, depression or other mental health issues listed as examples of low-level concerns. The school adopts an Early Help approach, with safeguarding and inclusion teams collaborating alongside SLT and form tutors to support students. Safeguarding concerns are managed using the MyConcern system, triggering alerts to Designated Safeguarding Officers. Staff complete annual safeguarding training through Educare, with extended NSPCC training for the Designated Safeguarding Leads.

The Mallorca International School Safeguarding Policy aims to provide a safe environment for students and to define staff roles and responsibilities in reporting safeguarding issues. The Designated Safeguarding Officers are Lowri Millar and Sara Schulz, with overall responsibility resting with the Head Teacher. Availability of the DSL (and a deputy) is ensured during term time, with an out-of-hours contact listed. Safeguarding concerns are recorded and managed electronically via MyConcern, and staff are required to report concerns promptly. Staff training is conducted annually through Educare, with NSPCC training for the DSL/DDSL and ongoing cross-referencing with other policies to ensure consistency.
