Joining the school

Language and learning support
The school emphasises wider development alongside qualifications. Ask how tutoring, learning support and university guidance work with the chosen sixth-form subjects. Discuss the child’s language background and any existing support plan before applying. Ask what help is available in lessons, how progress is reviewed and whether it carries an extra charge.
