We believe that children will only make good academic progress when they are happy and settled socially. We place a strong emphasis on pastoral care from the moment a child joins our school. Our motto at NLCS Dubai is that ’everyone matters’. Individuals are well-known and not just accepted but celebrated for who they are and encouraged to make the most of their unique gifts. No-one is ‘labelled’ and we work tirelessly to ensure that no child ‘slips through the net’.
Students in the Junior School are supported by their class teacher, who has a specific pastoral care responsibility for each student in their class. Our school nurse and counsellor provide a further source of care. We trust that with the right support, any difficulties can be overcome.
