STUDENT WELLBEING

WHERE HAPPY, HEALTHY STUDENTS THRIVE

We know that students who are happy, healthy, and included will flourish, which is why your child’s wellbeing is our absolute priority. Our dedicated pastoral team provide the care and practical help each student needs to achieve academic success, create memorable moments, and bounce back from challenging times.

Your child will love coming to our campus every day, too, which has been purposely designed to nurture their all-round growth. Innovative, inter-connected spaces actively promote socialising, purposeful collaboration, and a strong sense of community, while bright, open classrooms and outstanding facilities provide a real source of inspiration.

We believe that a strong partnership with you, our parents, is also incredibly important. Our teachers know exactly how, when, and what communication you’ll need, ensuring you’re constantly connected to your child’s progress and growth.

OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE

ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Education has the power to change the world, which is why we help our students develop the creativity and resilience they need to make a genuine impact.

Globally, our students drive change through our collaboration with UNICEF. Your child will learn about pressing international issues – like the UN Global Goals and Rights of the Child – and research, debate, and present solutions. They’ll also take part in life-affirming social, outreach, and themed challenges on our Global Campus digital platform, working alongside Nord Anglia students in 32 countries worldwide.

We also encourage our students to take part in local outreach activities as part of Nord Anglia’s Share A Dream programme. This provides unique opportunities to raise money and volunteer for the causes and organisations they truly care about.
