Parents
Able, Gifted and Talented
We believe that, by having a school-wide policy for teaching and monitoring 'Able, Gifted and Talented' students, we can enable them to realise their full potential through a consistent and clear approach, thereby assisting our school in delivering the 'Every Child Matters' agenda.
We believe that this policy will raise the general standard of education in our school as a whole by celebrating achievement and raising expectations and aspirations for all students, teaching staff and parents.
