Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The Plan for Coexistence sets out how the school is organized and operates with respect to convivencia. It defines the general lines the school will adopt, the objectives to be reached and the actions to be taken to achieve them. Through this plan, the development of skills such as constructive communication in different social and cultural environments, tolerance, the ability to express and understand different points of view, and the capacity to negotiate with trust and empathy is promoted. People must be able to manage behavior that shows respect for differences in a constructive manner. Fostering equity, equal opportunities, respect for democratic principles and for fundamental rights and freedoms requires flexible and varied measures to adapt the school's structure and organization to the needs and demands of society and to the diverse aptitudes, interests, expectations and personalities of students.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Equity and equal opportunities are promoted and the school respects democratic principles and the rights and freedoms. Flexible and varied measures are implemented to adapt the school's structure and organization to the needs and demands of society and to the diverse aptitudes, interests, expectations and personalities of students.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The Linguistic Plan is a working document that integrates communicative competence across all areas of the curriculum. It aims to cover language learning in an interdisciplinary way across all areas and levels. It is a tool that enhances plurilingualism and linguistic competence as a key driver of progress in all cognitive aspects. The Linguistic Plan covers both didactic-methodological and organizational aspects. It must be a document agreed by all, with realistic work phases and commitments that can be fulfilled. It forms part of the School Project.

Mental Wellbeing

The Health and Sport Promotion Project is an instrument for achieving student well-being and contributing to their holistic education. The Project forms part of Physical Education due to the close link between the curriculum of this subject and students' holistic development. Therefore it provides physical, cognitive, affective, emotional and social tools and promotes healthy lifestyles from self-knowledge and the potential to improve in any capacity through training, whether physical, mental or emotional. The Project's intervention proposals aim to maximize student participation in formative, recreational and physical activities and to establish a climate of well-being and healthy, stable and safe convivencia. Emphasis is on processes rather than results and on motivation, with the conviction that good practices and healthy habits gradually take root throughout the schooling period.

Safeguarding

The school has a Safeguarding Policy and a Safeguarding Newsletter. The page lists Safeguarding Newsletter issues by month, including June 2025, May 2025, April 2025, March 2025, February 2025, January 2025 and December 2024.
