Gifted And Talented

All schools in Service Children's Education demonstrate their commitment through policies and practice which recognise the needs of all pupils, ensuring that no ceiling is put on achievement. There is recognition of the particular needs of more able, gifted and talented pupils which are evident in curriculum, teaching and learning and assessment policies. In schools where there are well-defined and effectively implemented policies, the achievement of all young people, including those who are more able, gifted and talented pupils, is raised through higher expectation amongst staff and young people themselves.

Service Children's Education schools recognise that there are pupils who have very high general ability across the curriculum (gifted) or who have a talent in a specific area such as drama, dance, sport, art, music or leadership. These pupils are identified, challenged and supported in order to ensure that they develop and progress at an appropriate pace.
