Keeping our boarding students safe

At our boarding school in Spain, the safety and emotional well-being of our students is our top priority. To support this commitment, students are guided by house rules, the boarding team and the school's safeguarding team. The team includes a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and a counsellor who are responsible for coordinating and overseeing safeguarding efforts within the school and boarding house.

Counselling services

All boarders have access to the counselling service, which provides a confidential and supportive space to discuss a wide range of issues.

Parents and boarders can access counselling services through a referral, or boarders can refer themselves. If you feel that your child could benefit from this type of support, please contact the House Parent or make an appointment with our DSL or School Counsellor.
