Our school works hard at challenging pupils and has robust systems in place to identify pupils who may be either ‘Academically More Able (AMA)’, ‘Talented’ or ‘Exceptionally Able’. Pupils identified within these categories are placed on the AMA and Talented register, which is maintained and reviewed each halfterm (pupils are also placed on the register if the school is in the process of monitoring and assessing their special abilities). Provision for these pupils is carefully organised and catered for within school, with secure adaption of tasks ensuring that work is appropriately challenging and stimulating. Extra-curricular provisions (both within and out of school) are also identified, where appropriate, so that pupils are directed to additional opportunities. The school has achieved the NACE National Award, recognising outstanding commitment to identification of and the provision for Academically More Able and Talented pupils.
