Safa British School

Safa British School implements a whole‑school Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) approach with wellbeing embedded in daily life, a DiverCity Curriculum that fosters empathy and resilience, and a Wellbeing & Pastoral Care team led by Tarana Khatri (School Counsellor & Head of Wellbeing).

The Inclusion Team provides personalised interventions within a fully inclusive framework, with early identification of Students of Determination, curriculum adaptations, collaboration with parents and external specialists, and alignment to the Dubai Inclusion Framework.

EAL is included in Safa British School's inclusion framework, with learners acquiring English as an Additional Language supported within the school's inclusive approach and data tracked under Through School Percentages for EAL/ELL/SEND.

Mental wellbeing is central to school life, with regular wellbeing checks using the Komodo platform from Year 3 to Sixth Form (and age‑appropriate methods for FS/KS1), a Wellbeing team including a School Counsellor and Head of Wellbeing, and Wellbeing Ambassadors plus wellbeing‑themed events and guest speakers.

Safa British School places safeguarding at the top of its priorities: all staff receive annual safeguarding and child protection training, there are trained Designated Safeguarding Leads to coordinate safeguarding actions, and a clear reporting system for concerns.
