Capital School

Capital School supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through a holistic approach to wellbeing embedded across the school. Every pupil is assigned a House Tutor who provides daily guidance and pastoral support. The House Personal Support programme focuses on mental, social, physical and emotional development (MESP) and covers topics such as positive thinking, citizenship and motivation. In Secondary years, Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is integrated across the curriculum and includes careers guidance alongside academic planning. The school's approach aims to create a safe, respectful learning environment that supports students' social and emotional growth in addition to academics. This is aligned with KHDA guidelines for inclusive education.

Capital School provides dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) support through its Inclusion Pathways framework. The school follows KHDA Directives and Guidelines for Inclusive Education and offers early intervention in partnership with parents and external agencies. The team monitors students' progress with tailored approaches and uses Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) and Learner Profiles to guide instruction. It works closely with specialists such as educational psychologists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists, among others, and has specialist teachers and Learning Support Assistants. The SEN provision is designed to help students with language or learning challenges, or other needs, access the mainstream curriculum with tailored supports and progression.

Capital School provides English as an Additional Language (EAL) support as part of its British Curriculum. The school states that it offers EAL and gifted and talented intervention programmes in addition to its SEN services. EAL provision is supported by a dedicated staff and learning supports integrated into the mainstream classroom environment. Through EAL, students can access targeted language development to enable full participation in lessons and assessments. EAL is explicitly identified among the school's SEN-related provisions in its curriculum materials.
