Gifted & Talented
This environment enriches and extends the educational opportunities for Gifted and Talented Learners and provides a learning climate that challenges and supports children to realise and reach their full potential.
Children are identified using a multi-faceted approach and often have personalised Individual Educational Plans (IEP’s) in place. Children are placed on a register where their progress and extension is tracked throughout their primary education at Belfast.
Belfast School has a co-ordinator who oversees the running of programmes and the well-being of the children. The children meet regularly as a group and we cluster like-minded children together in classrooms. Children enjoy the social contact with each other and external projects they have undertaken have given them a platform to develop and grow their skills.
As well as having in-class extension and enrichment, Belfast School provides many opportunities and challenges outside of the classroom environment. These include the areas of Mathematics, English, Science, Visual Arts and Physical Education.
