Specialist teachers help pupils build the English skills needed to follow the curriculum. They work with subject teachers to plan the support. This help costs extra. Sixth-form students who need an English qualification for university entry can receive IELTS preparation. Agree the lessons and charges with the school before accepting a place.

The Academic Support team can offer study-skills groups, short-term individual lessons and a review of exam arrangements. Teachers can adjust classroom work to meet agreed needs. Parents are informed when support is recommended. Most pupils follow the full curriculum; a reduced timetable for longer-term individual help is exceptional and needs agreement. Entrance-test adjustments require current evidence in a formal report. Exam arrangements also depend on the exam board’s rules.
