The school offers additional literacy support to help students who need to improve their English language proficiency to cope with the academic demands of their year group.
The school supports the mental wellbeing of its students through a Counselling Policy and the services of a school counsellor, who is part of the Student Welfare Team.

It details procedures for reporting concerns, ensures designated safeguarding staff are available, and includes provisions for staff training and a code of conduct.
