BSG integrates social-emotional learning as part of its Future-ready skills framework. Social-Emotional development means understanding emotions and managing them effectively. Interpersonal skills include collaboration and communication to build meaningful relationships. Wellbeing is balancing mental, emotional and physical health. The Learning.First approach supports reflection on progress and growth in wellbeing and related life competencies.
BSG is an inclusive school and accepts students with mild to moderate additional learning needs. Parents are encouraged to discuss identified SEND needs during the admissions process and to provide in-depth documentation. Identified SEND students will be provided with appropriate learning support, which may incur additional costs. Placement in a year group is based on age and educational background, with English language assessment considered as part of the process. If assessments show that a student needs additional or remedial support, including EAL, parents will be informed and support put in place; the service may be invoiced separately. One-to-one support is considered on a case-by-case basis.
English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is part of learning support at BSG. A final admissions assessment evaluates English language level to determine whether EAL support is needed. If the assessment shows that EAL support is required, appropriate help is put in place and the service may incur additional costs. The learning support may involve external professionals, including educational psychologists, as needed. Testing by external professionals may be requested, depending on the needs of the student. Students needing one-to-one EAL support will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Wellbeing is a core element of learning at BSG. Wellbeing means balancing mental, emotional and physical health. The Wellbeing component appears within the School's Self-leadership and Life competencies framework, supporting reflection, growth and resilience. The Life Competencies framework, backed by Cambridge via Camtree, helps students develop essential life skills for wellbeing and leadership. The approach fosters confidence and healthy routines to support academic and personal growth.
BSG has a safeguarding and child protection policy that outlines clear protocols for reporting and handling safeguarding concerns. The policy assigns a Designated Safeguarding Lead and a safeguarding team with staff responsibilities and training expectations. Health, safety and security are supported by a full-time nurse, qualified first-aid staff, risk assessments and emergency protocols, plus a monitored campus, visible ID policy and 24/7 supervision. Staff and volunteers are expected to report concerns through formal channels such as the MyConcern system and to follow safeguarding procedures. The policy emphasizes that the best interests of the child guide all actions and includes safeguarding across curriculum and online safety.
