The school identifies students with additional needs early and works with parents and teachers to provide appropriate resources and interventions. Form teachers and subject teachers monitor wellbeing and refer concerns to the learning support team to coordinate targeted support. Multilingualism is recognised as a strength, and inclusive environments are emphasised to foster self-esteem and belonging.

Early identification of additional educational needs is pursued, with assessment and provision of support using available resources; external services may be connected as needed. The SENCO leads the LSC, with student support specialists providing direct and indirect intervention and reviewing data to identify those needing help.
