Every student at The Oxford School is entitled to full access to learning, whatever their ability, background, or starting point. Our Inclusion provision is built around early identification, a graduated approach to support, and strong partnership with families.
We support:
Through formal diagnosis or school-identified need, following the KHDA Categorisation System, with Individualised Education Plans, in-class accommodations, and access to Learning Support Assistants, Special Educators, and visiting therapists.
Supported through a tiered model (universal classroom instruction, small-group intervention, and intensive one-to-one support) that tracks progress from first entering English to full fluency.
Identified across academic, creative, leadership, sporting, and performing arts domains, with enrichment plans, advanced learning opportunities, and pathways to represent their community and country.
In line with our People First Communication Policy, we speak about what a child can do, not what they lack — because language shapes belonging.
The safety and wellbeing of every child is our absolute priority. The Oxford School operates a robust, proactive Child Protection and Safeguarding framework, fully aligned with UAE Federal Law No. 3 of 2016 (Wadeema’s Law) and KHDA requirements.
If you ever have a concern about a child’s safety, please contact our Designated Safeguarding Leads or School Counsellors directly, or reach out to:

wellbeing support
Students, staff, and parents can access one-on-one counselling through our in-house team, and our Stronger Together initiative — part of the wider Thrive Together Framework — makes booking wellbeing appointments simple and confidential for families.
We also care for the wellbeing of our whole community: staff, Emirati colleagues, and parents all have access to dedicated support, workshops, and guidance.
The GROW team is here for our whole community — students, parents, and staff alike. If you have a question about inclusion support, wellbeing services, or a safeguarding concern, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Head of Inclusion and Wellbeing or your child's School Counsellor.
