Lycée Louis Massignon Abu Dhabi

Lycée Louis Massignon operates a dedicated P46le Inclusion to support social and emotional learning (SEL) and wellbeing. The division includes a listening point (point écoute) and a clinical expertise unit, with staff: a social worker, Mélanie Denis, a specialized educator, Herminie Villette, and a psychomotrician, Héloefs Dugue9, who provide in-school support for students, families, and staff. The team focuses on wellbeing, confidence, and inclusion, and works with in-school specialists from Wonderful Minds (speech therapist, psychologist, and psychomotrician) to address communication, emotional, and developmental needs. Interventions are organized through individualized plans such as a PA4I, PPRE, PAP, and PPS to tailor support to each learner. Governance includes an inclusion commission and school follow-up structures to monitor student progress and ensure coordinated support. The school also runs wellbeing-focused activities, including the Semaine de la bienveillance et du bien-eat; these initiatives promote a calm, supportive climate for students.

The school provides dedicated SEN support through the P46le Inclusion, which is designed to be inclusive and to adapt its operations for all learners. The Inclusion team includes a point écoute (listening point) and a cellule de9xpertise clinique to assess and coordinate care, with personnel such as a social worker (Me9lanie Denis) and a specialized educator (Herminie Villette), plus a psychomotrician (He9loefs Dugue9). The team administers disability-related provisions including a projet dccueil individualise9 (PAI), a programme personnalise9 de re9ussite e9ducative (PPRE), a plan de9 accompagnement personnalise9 (PAP), and a projet personnalisse9 de se9colarisation (PPS), and identifies PAP, PPS and HPI referents in secondary school. Auxiliar staff (AESH) support students with additional needs on site, and the inclusion team coordinates with educational teams and the school
follow-up structures. The LLM policies page confirms a structured framework for childhood protection, anti-bullying, and other inclusion policies that underpin SEN support. The SEN approach is integrated within AEFE guidance but the school is not a standalone SEN specialist institution; it provides inclusive, school-based supports for a range of needs.

EAL support is provided for non-French-speaking students through targeted language interventions and multilingual programming. French as a Foreign Language (FLSco) is led by Inna Latycheva to assist early acquisition of French and coordinate with PAP/PPRE initiatives. The school also offers a British International Section (Section Internationale Britannique, SIB) from CP to Terminale with native-English instruction and a pathway toward the BFI; DNBI is available in 3e. From preschool onwards, five languages are taught at LLM: French, English, and Arabic for all students, with German, Spanish, and Latin offered later in the curriculum. Arabic is taught as either a mother-tongue (ALM) or foreign language (ALE), with increased hours in higher grades, and a European language option (ELCE) from 5e. These provisions collectively support students with diverse language backgrounds, and the school notes explicit language-shedding accommodations for non-French speakers.

Mental wellbeing is a central focus of the Inclusion Division, which includes a wellbeing emphasis in the school culture and explicit support for self-confidence and emotional wellbeing. The P46le Inclusion's mission highlights wellbeing as a key outcome, and the team offers ongoing psychosocial support through its listening point and clinical expertise unit. The school promotes a climate of benevolence and solidarity through dedicated activities and events, such as weeks dedicated to wellbeing and inclusion (e.g., Semaine de la bienveillance et du bien-eat). The inclusion team provides direct in-school support and coordinates with families to reinforce wellbeing at home and in class. These practices are reflected in ongoing events and blog posts highlighting wellbeing initiatives at the LLM.

Safeguarding and child protection are explicit policy areas at Lyce9e Louis Massignon, with a dedicated Child Protection section and a range of related policies. The Policies page lists a childhood protection policy (child protection) and an anti-bullying policy, alongside other safeguarding and student-protection documents, all designed to ensure safe school operations. The school provides contact channels for safeguarding-related concerns, including established email contacts for different sections (maternelle/CP, elementary, and collège/lyce9e) as part of its safeguarding framework. The safeguarding framework is complemented by the Protection de le9nfance information, which outlines practical details and availability for staff, families, and students. These elements together establish a structured approach to protecting children and responding to safeguarding concerns.
