“No problem can be solved by the same consciousness that created it. We need to see the world anew: Albert Einstein”

 

Gifted and Talented Pupils

... a problem should be difficult in order to entice us, yet not completely inaccessible, lest it mock our efforts. It should be to us a guidepost on the mazy path to hidden truths, and ultimately a reminder of our pleasure in the successful solution.
 

It is within the classroom that the majority of provision for exceptionally able pupils takes place. Each department identifies and extends those pupils for whom special provision should be made.

Supplementing this support, whole school enrichment opportunities are provided. Details of these can be found in the Gifted and Talented Enrichment Programmes.

All scholars and exhibitioners are automatically part of an enrichment programme, as are those pupils whose abilities and talents have been observed and who are invited to take part.

For those pupils hoping to apply to Oxford or Cambridge, an Oxbridge Programme offers further specific extension.
