This individualized approach ensures that any support provided aligns with the school's resources and the student's requirements. The school aims to accommodate a range of learning needs, provided they can be met within the existing educational framework.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school's English & EAL Department offers tailored English as an Additional Language (EAL) support, designed to meet individual language proficiency levels. They use globally recognized assessments like the Oxford English Test and Password EAL Assessment to determine needs. The goal is for all students to achieve at least B2 proficiency in English, and the program includes bespoke induction with intensive and targeted support.

Mental Wellbeing
Student wellbeing is a key focus, supported by a robust pastoral care system. This includes a House system with dedicated leaders and tutors, a Student Buddy system, and daily check-ins.
