Gifted & Talented
The Gifted and Talented Strand is one of the three core strands
of the Education Improvement Partnership:
- Extended opportunities for gifted and talented pupils;
- Access to full time learning mentors for pupils who need
them;
- Learning support units to tackle disruption.
- A fourth strand of funding is
available to target particular local issues, as identified by the
schools in each cluster. In the Lincolnshire clusters Teaching and
Learning has been identified as the 4th strand.
Gifted and Talented funding provides extended opportunities for
identified pupils. Provision for Gifted and Talented pupils is not
a bolt on but and integral part of effective teaching and learning.
For this reason the Teaching and Learning and Gifted and Talented
strands have been linked and the Regional Gifted and Talented
Coordinator also has responsibility for development of the Teaching
and Learning strand. Further details, resources and support
for schools can be found on the Gifted and
Talented page of the CfBT website.
