Able, Gifted and Talented

Pupils with high ability share the same statutory entitlement as all other pupils at Queens Drive Infant School to a broad and balanced curriculum which is relevant to their needs.

Our school will have, at any time, a number of extremely able, talented or gifted pupils, some of whom may perform at a level that well exceeds the level of others in their class or that expected in their age group. This may be in one or more areas of learning.

We believe that provision is generally most effective when it is made within the classroom, through a stimulated, differentiated curriculum. We also recognise that in some cases support may be required outside the classroom.

Beyond the school day we offer a variety of after school clubs that vary throughout the year, offering further opportunities for your gifted, talented or more able child. Keep an eye on your child’s bookbag towards the end of each term, when we send out club letters for the following term.

We also recognise that there are further opportunities for your child available in the wider community. We aim to list some providers here. Inclusion in this list is not an endorsement by the school and we suggest you visit any venue to assess the suitability for your child.
