The careers guidance programme begins in the second form when differential aptitude and other assessments are made to determine the individual pupil's special talents. Special attention is given to meeting the needs of overseas students attending the school for limited specific periods of time so that, wherever possible, their education may be seamless. The introduction and development of strategies to counteract learning difficulties have been of immense help to many pupils. The school has a specially trained teacher who works closely with the Department of Education's psychologist. All pupils are routinely assessed in order to detect any learning difficulties as early as possible.
All teaching staff have a role in career guidance and learning support.
