Pastoral care is central across the school. Each pupil receives individual support to excel in the classroom and within the wider school community. A Tutor System assigns a tutor to each student for ongoing pastoral care and academic support; Primary homeroom teachers act as tutors, and from Year 8 students are in vertical form classes with the same tutor for six years. The general studies course covers bullying, cyber safety, study skills, and embracing differences.
Special Education Services with speech language therapists are available for Preschool. For students with specific learning difficulties, a teacher aide provides extra assistance and personalised Individual Education Plans (IEPs) as needed. In College, learning support staff assist with learning needs, with IEPS and exam support.
The English Language Programme provides ESL support. ESL students benefit from English language lessons and small-group sessions, with three ESOL withdrawal sessions each week as they progress.
Welfare and wellbeing are prioritised from Early Learning to College, with experienced staff supporting students' wellbeing. Deans oversee welfare and progress, including dedicated roles for Lower College, Upper College and international students. The Tutor System and buddy arrangements support social integration and emotional wellbeing.
