Wellington College International School Bangkok

Wellington College Bangkok embeds social and emotional development across all school levels through regular discussions, workshops, and tutorial sessions. The school encourages open communication between students and their Class Teachers (in Junior School) or House Tutors (in Senior School), helping students navigate personal and developmental challenges. Programmes are framed by five core values: kindness, courage, integrity, responsibility, and respect. Parent engagement is also part of SEL support, including regular workshops to align home and school support. The school’s House system in the Senior School plays a key role in building a supportive and inclusive environment.

The school offers internal support for students with learning differences through a Learning Support team. It is not a specialist SEN institution but provides guidance and assistance for students with mild to moderate needs. Staff work with students to ensure they can access the curriculum and thrive as individuals, recognising varied backgrounds and learning profiles. Support is integrated and personalised according to individual pathways.

The school provides EAL support through a designated team. Students who are offered a place can receive additional English language support to help them fully access the curriculum. The EAL team works alongside Learning Support and classroom teachers to address individual needs.

Wellington College Bangkok supports students' mental wellbeing through its structured pastoral system. In the Junior School, class teachers oversee pupil welfare and deliver weekly Wellbeing lessons and Circle Time activities that promote emotional awareness and social skills. In the Senior School, each student is part of a House, where pastoral support is coordinated by House Tutors and staff, aiming to create a “home at school” environment. The school runs parent workshops on mental health-related topics and engages students in regular discussions and tutorials on relevant challenges. The pastoral policy also includes anti-bullying measures and staff collaboration with families when wellbeing concerns arise.

Wellington College Bangkok follows safeguarding guidelines based on UN protocols and the UK’s “Keeping Children Safe in Education” framework. The school designates trained Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and Deputy DSLs for each division. All staff undergo annual safeguarding training, and new hires are subject to safe recruitment procedures. The school uses CPOMS, a digital monitoring system, for securely recording and managing child protection concerns. Its Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy outlines procedures for identifying, reporting, and responding to safeguarding issues.
