English for Speakers of other languages
The school is able to accept students who are not totally fluent in English on entry, because they are provided with intensive tuition, during the school hours, to bring them as quickly as possible to the stage where they can follow the English Curriculum without any difficulty.
Extra support in Spanish
Students needing additional help in the Spanish Language are provided with it, in small groups.
