Complete Well-BSE-ing is a holistic approach that supports Academic Well Being, Physical Well Being, Social & Emotional Well Being, and Spiritual Well Being. The program in EYFS emphasises the holistic well-being of children, including social and emotional development.

The school is inclusive and actively seeks to remove barriers to learning and participation, aiming to identify and support the SEND of all pupils. It works in partnership with pupils, teachers, parents and external agencies to enable pupils to reach their fullest potential and promote independence, confidence and well-being. The ALDD has a team of highly qualified teachers providing one-to-one, small-group and in-class support from EYFS through Year 10, and coordinates with external professionals such as Speech and Language Therapists and Educational Psychologists; Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are set with targets and reviewed twice a year.
English as a Second Language is offered as an option in Key Stage 4 (Year 10) as part of the IGCSE options.
