English as an Additional Language (EAL)
As all lessons/subjects are taught in English, it is important that students have a good command of the English language. Those students who need additional English support in order to participate fully in lessons will be required to attend (school-based) EAL classes at an additional cost. EAL classes are required until such time the student reaches Level B1 based upon the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is the international standard for describing language ability.
Learning Support
We believe that Da Vinci International School is an educationally inclusive school because the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every young person matter.
The school recognises that there are children for whom additional support for learning may be required. Additional support can arise from any factor which causes a barrier to learning, whether that factor relates to social, emotional, cognitive, linguistic, disability, or family and care circumstances.
The school is proud of its record of integrating children with additional needs into its mainstream classes. The provision of a specially designated Learning Support Assistant may be required to meet the complex learning needs of some children.
There are additional costs connected with the provision of a Learning Support Assistant – please contact the school for more details.
School dress code and PE kit
All students are expected to follow the school dress code. Additional information about the school dress code and PE kit will be provided during enrolment.
