The school uses the English National Curriculum and delivers IGCSEs at the end of Year 11, followed by A-Level courses. It is an IB World School authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, including a bilingual Diploma option at the end of Year 13. French and German are also offered.

Ex-students have entered British universities and top institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College and LSE. Alumni have also progressed to Stanford University and Duke University, and to universities in Spain including UAM, the Complutense University of Madrid, and Carlos III.

Pastoral care is provided by teaching and non-teaching staff as pupils grow and develop in the school. For younger pupils, the class teacher and learning assistant are the initial contacts for help. A dedicated pastoral and wellbeing leader ensures all pupil needs are planned for and met through the curriculum and assembly programme. In the Secondary school, a designated tutor oversees the academic and social welfare of the tutor group via the PSHE programme and year group assemblies, with daily tutor periods and visiting speakers enriching the provision. Senior staff coordinate PSHE and broader pastoral care, and there is an annual Universities Fair with university visits; staff receive training to deliver informed guidance. Regular parent communication is facilitated through newsletters, calendars, handbooks, and parent–teacher consultation evenings; the Headteacher and staff are available by appointment. The school welcomes pupils from diverse backgrounds and teaches Christian values from an ecumenical perspective, with opt‑out options for other faiths as requested by families.

The school uses English as the language of instruction with full immersion in English. French and German are offered as additional languages. The British System emphasizes more than bilingualism in English and Spanish, aiming to develop open-minded, creative individuals through experiential and cross-curricular learning.
