English support matched to the pupil
Pupils whose first language is not English are assessed in their first week. The EAL department recommends support according to their age and proficiency and charges a set fee. Younger pupils may receive EAL lessons or help in class; older pupils can follow different English qualification routes according to need and timetable. Sixth-form IELTS preparation is available, but IELTS test registration is separate from the EAL fee. Agree the support plan and charges with the school before accepting a place.
