The school delivers SEL through the Happy Confident Schools programme using the FEELIT® methodology. This approach teaches students to identify and express 100 nuanced feelings, master self‑regulation, and develop compassion for themselves and others. Lessons are delivered in short, clinician‑approved activities integrated into class, circle time, and assemblies. Students also engage in mindfulness practices with affirmations, conversations, and meditations. The programme aims to equip children with ten core character skills and strategies for reflection, resilience, and positive personal development.
FSB offers short‑term learning support that may include booster groups, English or numeracy support, fine motor skills, and behaviour management. The school is not a specialist SEN institution and does not list specific categories of SEN that it can support beyond this short‑term assistance.
Mental wellbeing at FSB is supported through an embedded pastoral care system that focuses on emotional health and daily wellbeing. The school incorporates mindfulness practices, including affirmations, reflective conversations, and guided meditations, into class time, circle time, and assemblies. These activities help students manage emotions, reframe negative thoughts, and develop practical coping strategies. While SEL builds social and emotional skills, the pastoral care focus is on providing a safe, supportive environment where students feel connected and cared for throughout their school day.
The school does not publicly disclose details about safeguarding or child protection policies on its website.
