Our Learning Support team provides various one-to-one, small group and in-class interventions for students with gaps in learning or with diagnosed learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia or a slower processing speed.

Our able, gifted and talented students are supported by individualised pathways, such as advanced mathematics courses or additional languages. We also support them by providing in-class curriculum extensions and out-of-lesson experiences that enrich their understanding of our world.
