It offers the Early Years Foundation Stage and the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for its secondary students, welcoming pupils from age 3 to 18.

The Primary Curriculum is framed around Roots, Trunk and Crown, focusing on personal and social development, communication, mathematical thinking, creative arts and environmental awareness. Spanish is taught as Language Acquisition, supporting inquiry, collaboration and intercultural understanding. The school runs a Service in Action programme in the secondary, and the LWS Foundation promotes outdoor education and environmental stewardship through residential trips and community projects.
