Academics

Curriculum

For Early Years (ages 3-5), learning is play-based in a trilingual environment. In the International Primary School, students follow the National Curriculum for England and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), fostering global mindedness. The International Secondary School (Years 7-11) is based on an enriched English National Curriculum, leading to International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations at the end of Year 11. For Sixth Form (Years 12-13), students prepare for Cambridge A-level and AS-level programmes.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school incorporates a "Life Competencies Framework" to support social and emotional development, backed by research with Cambridge University. This framework focuses on building self-belief, resilience through "Good Struggles," and fostering a love for lifelong learning by sparking curiosity. Teachers act as "co-pilots," guiding students to take ownership of their learning and make decisions that drive their growth, creating a supportive atmosphere grounded in trust and positive relationships.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

While not a specialist SEN school, Tenby considers applications from students with special educational needs on a case-by-case basis. The evaluation process involves an interview with the SEN Counselor or Head of School and a trial class to assess the student's needs and the school's capacity to support them.

This individualized approach ensures that any support provided aligns with the school's resources and the student's requirements. The school aims to accommodate a range of learning needs, provided they can be met within the existing educational framework.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school offers a dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) program through its Learning Centre (TLC). This support is tailored to students' current language proficiency, providing additional English language lessons to help them achieve fluency and keep pace with their year group's academic standards. New EAL learners benefit from bespoke induction with intensive and targeted programs.

Mental Wellbeing

The school's approach to wellbeing is interwoven with its social and emotional learning programs, which emphasize self-belief, resilience, and curiosity. They aim to create a supportive atmosphere grounded in trust and positive relationships. While specific mental wellbeing programs aren't explicitly detailed, the school's focus on pastoral care and the International Schools Partnership's (ISP) emphasis on "Life Competencies" indirectly support students' mental and emotional health.

Safeguarding

Tenby Schools has a comprehensive Group Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy. This policy outlines procedures for responding to concerns about a child's welfare, preventing unsuitable people from working with children, and ensuring children's safety and wellbeing. The policy is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect best practices in child protection.
