The school fosters a culture of vigilance, openness, trust, and transparency, and safeguarding concerns about staff or visitors are handled with care and sensitivity. Counselling is available at all premises to address the needs of students and their families, and the school maintains a Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
In both Primary and Secondary, ESL programmes have been designed to meet the needs of students whose level of English language knowledge is a hindrance in attaining their full academic potential. ESL support is offered in small classroom groups and is given at different levels and in different ways. The aim of this programme is to help develop speaking, listening, use of English, reading and writing. The ESL Support Programme follows the Cambridge Primary English as a Second Language curriculum.
