Wellbeing
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Personal, social and emotional development is a foundation area in PRIMA Preschool. Play is the major activity through which children develop social skills, address difficulties and exercise their physical, sensory, emotional and cognitive abilities. The school's community is international, representing over 45 nationalities, which supports social learning and cultural understanding. Staff foster a supportive environment where children can talk to staff about concerns, and safeguarding training helps ensure students feel safe to raise issues. PSHE is integrated into lessons to promote physical and mental health, teach students how to seek help, and stay safe.
Mental Wellbeing
PSHE is included in lessons to help students take care of their physical and mental health, know whom to address for help, and develop skills to stay safe from harm. PRIMA's safeguarding framework recognises that factors such as abuse or neglect can affect mental health, and aims to provide a safe, supportive learning environment. A school Psychologist provides support to students who may have been abused or need mental health assistance, and staff are trained to respond to such concerns. The school environment, including a safe and nurturing atmosphere, supports students' mental wellbeing and well-being.
Safeguarding
PRIMA International School provides a safe, secure environment for students on school premises and protects them from maltreatment. The Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy outlines procedures for identifying, reporting and dealing with harm or abuse, and staff are trained in safeguarding and child protection annually. The Director acts as Safeguarding and Child Protection Officer and the Head of Primary as Deputy Safeguarding and Child Protection Officer, with responsibilities including updating policies, acting as the point of contact, and maintaining records. Teachers and staff are trained to recognise signs of abuse and neglect and to act in the best interests of the child; and PSHE activities help students learn how to stay safe, including online safety. The policy also emphasizes collaboration with parents, carers and other agencies, and lists related policies and emergency procedures; students should not leave school grounds without an accompanying adult. Contact details for relevant agencies are provided within the policy.
