Gifted and Talented

• ‘encouragement and excellent opportunities to learn, play, enjoy and achieve wherever they are;
• the opportunity to achieve their aspirations, be creative and play a full and positive part in their communities’

In Learning and School Effectiveness we are committed to ensuring all students learn in enabling environments that challenge and support children and young people and celebrate their successes.

These commitments inform our aspiration to ensure that more able, gifted and talented children and young people thrive and realise their potential in learning and development.

The national and local priority for personalising learning challenges schools to develop a ‘… a highly structured and responsive approach to each child’s learning in order that they are able to progress, achieve and participate’ (‘2020 Vision’ - 2006). Schools’ provision for more able gifted and talented pupils should respond to this challenge and, in turn, inform the development of personalised learning for all.

The Local Authority works with a range of partners locally and nationally, including the National Strategies, Young, Gifted and Talented, and the South West Gate, to create a coherent support structure to improve identification and provision, pedagogy and personalisation for gifted and talented children and young people in and across all Key Stages.

The guidance and resources provided on this webpage concentrate on Key Stages 1 to 4. Further guidance for those working with the Early Years Foundation Stage and Post – 16 is also available within the Learning and School Effectiveness Service.
