Controlled access
Visitors sign in at reception; children are released only to registered guardians.
Student Support
Every child known, safe and supported.
Children learn best when they feel secure and understood. Our support system makes sure no child slips quietly through the gaps — academically or emotionally.
Pastoral care
The class teacher: your child’s champion.
Every class has a class teacher who spends significant time with the children, notices changes in mood or behaviour, and is the first point of contact for parents. Class teachers meet regularly with subject teachers and coordinators to share observations and agree next steps.
When a child is new, unsettled, facing a family change or simply having a difficult week, the class teacher coordinates support — sometimes a quiet conversation, sometimes a buddy, sometimes a meeting with parents.
Who to talk to
- Class teacher — day-to-day learning and wellbeing
- Stage coordinator — ongoing academic or behaviour concerns
- Principal — serious or unresolved matters
- School office — admissions, fees, transport
Learning support
Help when it’s needed, stretch when it’s ready.
- 01
Identify early
Regular checks and observation highlight children who are finding something hard — or finding it too easy.
- 02

- 03
Targeted support
In-class small-group help, adapted tasks, additional practice or extension challenges.
- 04
Review progress
Support is reviewed after a few weeks and adjusted based on progress.
If your child has a diagnosed learning need or requires specific accommodations, please share relevant reports during admission so that we can discuss how best to support them. Information is handled confidentially.
Wellbeing
Healthy minds, healthy bodies.
Wellbeing is built into the school week: movement and sport, time outdoors, creative subjects, circle time and discussions about feelings, friendships and kindness. Assemblies and life-skills sessions address topics such as managing worry, being a good friend and making safe choices.
We encourage healthy habits — water, balanced tiffins, sleep and regular routines — and work with parents when a child seems tired, anxious or withdrawn.
Safety & safeguarding
Protecting children is everyone’s job.
Supervision
Staff supervise arrival, breaks, transitions and dismissal.
First aid
First-aid provision on campus and prompt contact with parents if a child is unwell.
Anti-bullying
Clear expectations, quick response and support for all children involved.
Support FAQs
Questions parents ask.
My child is shy. Will they cope?
Many children are quiet at first. Partner talk, small groups, buddy systems and gentle encouragement help shy children participate at their own pace.
How do you handle bullying?
We take every report seriously, investigate promptly, support the child affected, work with the child responsible to change behaviour and keep parents informed.
Can I share a concern confidentially?
Yes. Please contact the class teacher or Principal; concerns are handled sensitively and shared only with those who need to know.
