This approach fulfills the necessary requirements and yields positive outcomes. Although there is a relatively small number of students pursuing bilingual diplomas, our language program remains comprehensive and effective.
Furthermore, we actively support students who wish to continue developing their mother tongue through self-study. Some of these provisions are made available with the assistance of the ESF Centre.

Soutien à l'apprentissage proposé
The school steps away from pigeonholing students, focusing instead on a range of individual needs from moderate learning disabilities (Dyslexia, ADHD, Global Delay and Dyscalculia) to extensions for gifted students.
For students who require additional support or have more individual needs that requires higher level of adjustments, we have a timetabled support program called Strategies for School (S4S). This program is offered as an alternative to studying one of their languages or as an option during years 10 and 11 when students choose their GCSE subjects.
In cases where students have more complex needs that cannot be fully addressed within the school's framework, students can apply ESF Jockey Club Sarah Roe School. Admissions to this specialized school are guided by ESF admissions team to ensure that students receive the appropriate support and resources tailored to their specific needs.
The school strive to provide comprehensive support and accommodations to ensure that every student can be the best they can be, thrive academically and reach their full potential. There is also a learning centre for approximately 25 students requiring more intensive support either individually or in smaller groups.
Yes we have 3 food outlets available for students.

L'école soutient les élèves doués et talentueux
The school has a programme of approaches for students with strong ability through links to gifted education as well as a mentoring programme designed to develop students further who have a particular strength within subject domains or disciplines. Courses have also been developed in the school curriculum to extend these students further. Opportunities to work with other students of a similar ability are part of our programme for this group who are identified through a range of data.
