The school follows the UK system for student placement, with a September 1st cutoff date for age-based classes, though the Principal retains the authority to place students in non-age-based classes if it better suits their educational needs. The curriculum is designed to be relevant and meaningful, with a focus on developing essential skills and knowledge for the 21st century. Specialist subjects include art, music, design, and performance.

The school is committed to inclusive learning and provides support to help all students participate and succeed. For students identified as needing extra assistance, the school provides dedicated EAL (English as an Additional Language) support lessons. Students with Special Educational Needs may be enrolled if the school can provide appropriate support, and parents may provide a self-funded Special Educational Needs Assistant, subject to school approval and child protection checks.
