ISE embeds SEL through classroom practices and school events. Homeroom teachers prioritize student pastoral care and collaborate with counselors and EAL/SEN specialists to monitor student welfare. School-wide training sessions, such as professional workshops at the start of the school year, include topics on child safeguarding and well-being, responsibly led by administration and the EAL coordinator.
ISE supports students with mild to moderate learning needs within mainstream classrooms using accommodations and modifications advised by learning resource teachers. These students must be capable of participating independently in standard coursework. Students with severe or complex needs are not supported on-site; parents may be advised of alternative placement options.
EAL instruction begins in Grade 1 for students new to English or identified as needing language support. The program includes targeted lessons in speaking, listening, reading, writing, and grammar, delivered both in small groups and integrated into mainstream classes. EAL teachers partner with homeroom and subject teachers to regularly assess progress and guide students toward independent academic participation.
ISE's public materials do not provide explicit details regarding specific mental health programmes, counseling sessions, or well-being initiatives. However, staff training, including child safeguarding and well-being workshops- suggests an awareness of student emotional health as part of school preparation and student support efforts
The school does not publicly share its formal child protection or safeguarding policy on its website.
