Learning Support is a formal programme; referred students have an individual education plan based on psycho-educational assessments conducted by external professionals, with intervention delivered in-class or one-to-one by the counsellor, special educator and Learning Support Assistants; a Shadow Teacher option is available. Gifted & Talented provision is identified via CAT4 and includes acceleration and enrichment, with opportunities to lead clubs and participate in external events.

The school documents explicit processes for assessment, planning and progress monitoring through the Student Support Team.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision on its Student Support Services page. The available SEN/SEL content focuses on Learning Support, counselling and gifted education rather than EAL programmes.
