Students who do not speak English as their first language can access additional support through our English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme up to, and including, Year 9. English levels are measured by using assessments that link to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) so that we can best meet the needs of each student. The students are assessed in their speaking, listening, reading and writing proficiency in English and the scores determine the level of support needed.

We offer personalised routes for students who are unable to meet the outcomes expected for GCSE and the IBDP, where the students either sit fewer exams or follow routes that focus on English, maths, life skills and employability, through the ASDAN curriculum.
