Creative British School supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through an inclusive three‑tier Pyramid of Intervention led by the Head of Inclusion, with an Inclusion Team and Learning Support Unit delivering universal, targeted, and intensive supports and documented Learning Plans (IEPs) for students with additional learning needs; progress is tracked and reported to parents to ensure ongoing SEL progress. The continuum of support explicitly addresses students' academic, social, emotional, and behavioural needs. The school also emphasizes inclusive practices and staff collaboration to foster emotional development within a structured framework. (turn8view0; turn8view0)
The Inclusion policy defines Additional Learning Needs and provides comprehensive SEN provision via a designated Head of Inclusion, Inclusion Assistants, and an Inclusive Learning Support Unit, supported by a three‑tier Pyramid of Intervention and documented Individualised Education Plans (IEPs). Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions include targeted instruction, intervention plans, progress monitoring, and, for some students, Special Education services and more intensive supports. The policy notes that parents may fund Individual Assistants (shadow teachers) where required, and it outlines collaboration with professionals to develop IEPs and access related services.

The Inclusion policy explicitly includes EAL students and envisions recognisable leadership opportunities for them, with language support provided as a Tier 1 universal provision to address language barriers in learning. Language support is described as part of the universal strategies (Tier 1) to ensure accessibility for learners facing language-related challenges. (turn7view0; turn8view0)
Mental wellbeing is supported through safeguarding‑oriented practices, including Accessible Support and Counselling available to all students and proactive monitoring of at‑risk pupils as part of safeguarding procedures. The safeguarding framework also describes a Safeguarding Committee and a school‑wide safeguarding awareness strategy to promote safe, caring, and transparent school culture. (turn6view0; turn6view0)
Safeguarding is codified in the Student Protection and Safeguarding policy (2024), with a Safeguarding Committee comprising the Principal, Head of Secondary, Head of Primary, and a Social Worker, supported by staff with safeguarding responsibilities; the policy outlines reporting procedures, staff induction/training, and adherence to ADEK requirements, including online safety and well‑being policies. The School Policies page lists the Student Protection and Safeguarding policy along with related policies (Anti‑Bullying, Attendance, Behaviour, etc.), all subject to annual review and alignment with ADEK Wellbeing and Digital policies.
