At Cotswold School, we strive to allow all students to reach their academic, physical, social and emotional best.

Our Gifted and Talented program is an integral component in our responsibility to educate and allow all students to reach their potential.

Gifted Students are those with the potential to achieve at an exceptional level in one or more domains of ability.

Talented students are those who are performing at an exceptional level in one or more areas of endeavour.

Staff and parents are involved in helping to identify Gifted and Talented students. Where appropriate specific programmes are used to support Gifted and Talented learners.

Opportunities we offer to support our Gifted and Talented students:

• A register to identify and monitor students within the school who demonstrate exceptional ability.
  
• Integrate programmes to enhance problem solving, inquiry learning, and high order thinking skills.
  
• On-going extension within enrichment opportunities.
  
• Future Problem Solving (Years 5 and 6)
  
• Philosophy club (Years 3 and 4)
  
• Maths Problem Solving Group
  
• ICAS exams
  

We also cater for Gifted and Talented students by grouping together in clusters, so that they have the opportunity to work with like- minded peers.
