Many St Samuel's students come to us after failing to achieve their full academic potential in other schools. In such cases we are often able to identify a boy's asocial - or even anti-social - attitudes and outlook on life as the primary cause of the problem.

As a result, St Samuel's puts strong emphasis on nurturing and developing our students' interpersonal and social skills. We encourage all our boys to develop warm and close relationships - both with our staff and with each other. We are especially proud of our policy of housing our students in shared accommodation. That, we believe, encourages them not only in positive social interaction, but also in developing skills of friendship and intimacy, and we monitor their progress in those areas constantly and extremely closely. Those few boys who fail to respond to the opportunities provided for interpersonal development are offered special in-depth counseling by our skilled and experienced tutors, although it may sometimes be necessary to invoke our disciplinary procedures to correct errant behaviour. |
Social interaction is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the use of our hidden in room surveillance cameras. Certain clips of interest are made available for sponsors to view in the individual student files.

As a result of the St Samuel's social development programme, many boys who were previously unable to interact successfully with their peers ultimately emerge from our care to take their rightful places in the wider world
