The Gifted and Talented Programme
Our belief is that able children need challenge and extension. Gifted pupils,
showing high levels of performance in academic areas, and talented pupils whose abilities
lie in non- academic areas, thrive in small classes. Cognitive Ability Tests, along with
teacher and parental nominations, are used to decide whether your child would benefit
from the programme. A specialist co-ordinator supervises the programme and regularly
updates the register. The curriculum is extended throughout the school in areas where
pupils show ability. Master classes, focus days, residential courses and competitions are
amongst the extras offered to challenge and motivate pupils.
“I enjoy competition in the school, and feel there is a
strong group in my class who encourage me academically.”
