TLS Academy does not have a separate counselling department, but emotional support is built into daily routines and staff-student interactions.
The school supports students' social and emotional learning through its Christian-based curriculum. Each study unit (PACE) begins with a Bible verse and a character trait, such as honesty or diligence, to encourage personal growth. Students set daily and long-term goals, helping them build responsibility and self-management. Teachers (called Supervisors) and Monitors provide guidance and support in small-group settings.
TLS Academy is not a specialist SEN institution.
TLS Academy does not offer a dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme.
However, students needing extra help in English may receive support through the school’s optional learning support service, available at an added cost. Students are assessed through a diagnostic test to determine their academic level, including their English ability.
TLS Academy supports mental wellbeing through a structured, calm learning environment and small class sizes. Students work at their own pace, which helps reduce stress.

Teachers provide basic counselling support. If additional help is needed, students may be referred to PsyCare Consultants or another professional counsellor of their choice.
