At Ilchester Community Primary School, we are committed to nurturing the unique abilities and talents of all our students, including those identified as gifted and talented. Our Gifted and Talented (G&T) program is designed to provide these students with the opportunities and challenges they need to thrive academically, creatively, and socially. The purpose of our G&T program is to:

1. Challenge and Extend Learning: Offer differentiated instruction and advanced learning opportunities to ensure that gifted and talented students are continually challenged and engaged.
2. Foster Individual Talents: Provide specialised programs and activities that cater to the specific strengths and interests of each student, whether in academics, arts, sports, or other areas.
3. Encourage Critical Thinking: Promote higher-order thinking skills through problem-solving tasks, independent projects, and inquiry-based learning.
4. Support Social and Emotional Needs: Address the unique social and emotional needs of gifted and talented students, helping them develop resilience, self-awareness, and positive peer relationships.
5. Engage Families: Collaborate with parents and guardians to support their child’s development and provide resources to help nurture their talents at home.
