‘Gifted and Talented’ describes students with one or more abilities developed to a level significantly ahead of the year group.

GIFTED DEFINITION
‘Gifted’ refers to students who are particularly able or excel in one or more academic subject such as English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, RE and Languages. Key Stage 3 students will demonstrate excellence within their L4L studies.
‘Talented’ students are those who have a special ability or potential in Art, Music, Physical Education, Dance and Drama.
Students are identified as Gifted or Talented through reports by individual teaching staff, producing work of exceptional quality and excelling in end of year examinations. Parents can assist by informing the Academy if students are performing exceptionally in areas outside the Academy as members of external organisations such as sports clubs, community languages or in graded music examinations.
