Where confidence grows
What's happening
At The English College, Dubai, students thrive in an inclusive environment where every voice matters. Here, they are empowered to overcome challenges - academic, social or emotional - with tailored support that meets their individual needs. Whatever the barrier, students are encouraged to grow in confidence and ability, unlocking their full potential in a setting that truly values diversity and belonging.
Our inclusion support is founded on care, collaboration and high expectations. We offer tailored strategies to meet the diverse needs of students of determination, English language learners and more able and talented pupils.
Support begins from the outset of each student’s journey. Our admissions process identifies needs early so that appropriate provision is in place from day one.
Clear pathways enable timely intervention and provision, ensuring that no student’s needs are overlooked.
Regular assessment and progress reviews allow us to adapt provision as needed, ensuring every student makes sustained progress.
Parents are essential partners in the inclusion journey. Open communication, regular reviews and workshops help build strong home–school partnerships that support every student.
We work with external agencies for speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, ABA and educational psychology, ensuring students receive tailored interventions for their needs.
Led by the Head of Inclusion, our Inclusion Team works across the whole school to ensure every student is supported. We provide early intervention in EYFS and Primary, as well as specialist support in Secondary, to ensure that we can tailor our approach to each child’s needs. We collaborate closely with families to ensure smooth transitions and provide a safe space where students feel heard, valued and empowered to thrive.
