St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit 107

Wellbeing is integrated throughout school life. The school has designated student Wellbeing Ambassadors (from Year 11–12), offers group and individual counselling, morning exercise programmes, mindfulness activities, and promotes a culture of emotional awareness and community care.

S107 operates a formal Inclusion and Learning Support Department, built on the British model of Assess–Plan–Do–Review. This department supports students with a range of learning needs, from mild to more complex, through a tiered system of low, medium, and high levels of support. Each student receives an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) tailored to their educational and personal development goals.

Services Offered:
In-class support, small group interventions, and one-on-one sessions delivered by trained learning support specialists.

Collaboration with external professionals for educational psychology assessments, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy where needed.

For older students, especially those in Years 10–13, the school provides alternative academic pathways such as the ASDAN programme, which supports students who may not follow the IGCSE or IB Diploma tracks.

Integration:
Where possible, students are included in mainstream classes with accommodations. The school prioritizes ensuring access to learning while addressing individual barriers, in both academic and co-curricular areas.

The school does offer EAL.

S107 offers counselling for both primary and secondary students through individual and group sessions, play therapy, and collaboration with parents and teachers. Two full-time social-emotional counsellors and a play therapist are available on campus, and referrals to external services are provided when needed. A university counsellor also supports students with applications, university planning, and related workshops.

The school has a dedicated wellbeing team, student wellbeing ambassadors, and initiatives like morning exercise, mindfulness activities, and the annual Be Well Day. Staff are trained in mental health first aid, and wellbeing is supported across the whole school community.

S107 follows strict safeguarding practices to ensure student safety and wellbeing. All staff and volunteers undergo background checks and regular safeguarding training. The school promotes a culture of care through strong staff-student relationships, student voice initiatives, PSHE programmes, and a mentor system.

Safeguarding efforts are supported by a designated staff lead and include collaboration with external agencies when needed. A parent safeguarding handbook is also provided to explain the school’s approach in detail.
