Bradbury uses the ESF Levels of Adjustment (LOA) framework (levels 1–6) to identify and track the adjustments or supports a student may need to engage successfully in learning and social environments. They refer to a “BRAD” pastoral support model, in which teachers and learning diversity staff apply a variety of strategies to support students socially, emotionally, and academically. The school emphasises working closely with families so that emotional growth, resilience, and life skills are nurtured in addition to academic learning.
Bradbury states that it offers specialised support for students with special educational needs, using the LOA framework to provide appropriate accommodations and scaffolding for those students. They list examples of supported areas, including reading, writing, mathematics, social-emotional learning, and developmental delays (e.g,. dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia).

The school is not described as a specialist SEN institution; rather, it integrates support within its general structures and works in collaboration with teachers, learning diversity staff, and families.
The school website does not publicly disclose a dedicated EAL policy or programme.
Bradbury’s “Student Support & Wellbeing” page notes that the school “puts the health, happiness and well-being” of students at its centre. They use the LOA (Levels of Adjustment) to support not only academics but also students’ emotional and social needs, indicating a system of layered support. The school also embeds well-being as part of its BRAD model, which suggests an integrated approach where all teachers and staff are aware of and contribute to student well-being.
