The Culture of Care ensures students and all adults feel safe, supported, and valued every day. It is a lived ethos, not a separate program, grounded in relationships and mutual respect. Students can raise concerns and be heard, with adults acting in their best interest. Real preparation for life includes building resilience, confidence, and emotional intelligence. The safeguarding commitment emphasizes student safety and wellbeing physically, emotionally, and mentally, and includes a personal, social, health and wellbeing programme. The safeguarding curriculum comprises Relationship & Sex Education, Protective Behaviours, and Digital Safety & Citizenship.
Student safety and wellbeing come first—physically, emotionally, and mentally. A Culture of Care makes wellbeing a core value; staff wellbeing is supported so they can care for students effectively. Safeguarding policies are translated into daily actions, with ongoing training and clear behaviour standards. The 3-part safeguarding curriculum delivers Relationships & Sex Education, Protective Behaviours, and Digital Safety & Citizenship as part of Personal, Social, Health and Wellbeing education. This approach aims to develop resilience, confidence, and emotional intelligence to thrive beyond school.
Students are valued, heard and supported by trusted adults. Staff are supported to thrive professionally and emotionally. Families are welcomed as trusted partners. Safeguarding policies are turned into daily, visible, proactive actions. Ongoing training is provided, clear behaviour standards are set, and these are applied consistently by all staff. Safer recruitment follows international best practices, including identity checks, qualifications, references, background screening, and social media reviews, guided by core safeguarding values of Trust, Responsibility, and Equality & Diversity.
Xábia International College (XIC) offers a bilingual education for students aged 1 to 18, delivering the British National Curriculum alongside the Spanish Curriculum, including ESO and Bachillerato. The Infants & Primary Campus in Jávea features specific indoor sensory and role-play spaces, as well as designated outdoor areas supporting gross motor development and outdoor learning. Students receive daily exposure to both English and Spanish starting in the Early Years Foundation Stage. A distinctive aspect of XIC is its dual-pathway approach, which seamlessly integrates Spanish cultural studies and native-taught language lessons with core British subjects like Maths and Science. The campus hosts a specialized after-school program, XIC Extra, providing activities ranging from Bytebots robotics to yoga, drama, and karate. Additionally, the school organizes students into a structured House system (Gaudi, Picasso, Dali, and Goya) that groups siblings together and facilitates regular, cross-grade sports and team activities.
