Curriculum - Gifted and Talented

Gifted and Talented

At Swanmore we aim to ensure that all pupils discover their talents and our challenging curriculum is designed to ensure that they all develop their abilities at the optimum rate. Where pupils are identified as gifted they will typically achieve exceptionally high standards across a range of subjects. These pupils, based on a range of assessment information are grouped together to ensure that they receive sufficiently rigorous and challenging experiences across the curriculum. Where pupils exhibit an exceptional talent in one particular area, it is the policy of the college to work in close partnership with parents to ensure that they receive an appropriate diet of enrichment and extension. Through our curricular and extra-curricular programmes exceptionally gifted and talented pupils will experience:

• Enrichment: studying a broader range of material across the curriculum
• Extension: studying material from existing subjects in greater depth
• Acceleration: where practical and appropriate we will reduce the time taken to complete a particular course of study
