Pastoral Care
At Al Ain English Speaking School (AAESS), we take great pride in our pastoral care, ensuring that our students are well-supported and nurtured in a happy and healthy environment. Our dedicated teachers provide personalised care, guiding each child through their learning journey and helping them to develop resilience and adaptability. We understand the importance of emotional wellbeing as a foundation for effective education, recognising that happy children are more likely to succeed and be better prepared for learning.
Life brings challenges to all of us, and children are no exception. Our caring and supportive teachers are always available to help students navigate their ups and downs, fostering an atmosphere of understanding and encouragement, while building resilience and self-esteem.
Safeguarding
The school has a duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of its pupils. Safeguarding our pupils is always our number one priority. Our commitment to safeguarding is outlined in our Safeguarding Policy.
All members of our team are trained in the latest safeguarding practices, and all new staff undergo extensive background checks before any appointment is confirmed.
Wellbeing
Promoting the wellbeing of our students is a core commitment, aligned with the Cognita Be Well Charter. We actively implement the Charter’s six pillars, including encouraging healthy food choices and embedding regular physical activity into daily routines, ensuring our students stay active and limit prolonged periods of sitting.
Our focus on connecting with others involves social responsibility and enterprise, while our partnership with the Sparkle Foundation allows our students and families to engage in giving and doing activities, enriching their lives and positively impacting the wider community.
