High potential and gifted education

Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.

At our primary school, we understand that every child is unique, and we are committed to supporting gifted and high potential students within each classroom. These students are identified through observations, assessments, and input from parents and the students themselves, recognising a wide range of talents. To meet their needs, teachers differentiate the curriculum by offering deeper, more complex work and enrichment activities that encourage critical thinking and creativity. Students may work in flexible groups, undertake independent projects, and take on leadership roles to foster their skills and confidence. Our teachers use thoughtful questioning and problem-solving activities to challenge these learners, and we provide access to advanced resources and opportunities beyond the classroom. We also support the social and emotional wellbeing of gifted students, helping them develop strong peer relationships and resilience. Through ongoing teacher training and collaboration with specialists, we strive to ensure that every gifted child is engaged, challenged, and supported to reach their full potential.
