In Year 6 and Secondary, counsellors:

- give personal feedback to parents.
School mediation team
We are pioneers in peaceful conflict resolution. Members of our staff have been trained at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid to help students act as intermediaries and solve problems and conflicts amongst themselves.
