Gifted and Talented

 
Provision for Gifted and Talented pupil has become an increasingly important aspect of school planning in recent years as the government has made clear the national commitment to helping gifted and talented pupils in maintained schools make the most of the opportunities.

Initiatives such as the national strategies also recognise the need to provide for gifted and talented pupils.  OFSTED comment on provision for G & T pupils within inspection reports and QCA has also issued national guidance to support schools in developing their provision.  At the centre of this national and increasingly local activity is the recognition that unless the classroom experience provides all pupils with sufficient challenge to develop thinking, foster creativity, encourage collaborative learning many young people will never fulfil their potential.
