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 school, we recognise and nurture these strengths early, and continuously throughout the year. We support advanced learners with great lessons and activities, in the classroom, on the playground and out in the wider community to help them grow and thrive.
