Return to the Gifted and Talented Policy
Appendix A RECOGNISING MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES Appendix B Appendix C GIFTED AND TALENTED NOMINATION FORM
This policy has been produced as an example and is intended to provide a basis for any primary schools that have yet to write their own policy. It may also prompt some schools to review what they have previously written or inform work in progress.
In order to be of any use at all, a policy has to reflect specific practice within a particular environment. Obviously, it is not possible to write a single catch-all policy in which every part of it will be applicable to all schools and I have tried to be mindful of this when writing this draft. Although this policy is not intended to be prescriptive, of necessity I have had to be quite specific on occasion. I recognise that certain sections of the policy are over-detailed � a strategy that is intended to furnish schools with useable ideas. I anticipate that schools will want to omit, re-write or adapt certain sections of this draft to suit their own circumstances. (Where sections are to be omitted, it is useful to consider replacing them with more accurate descriptions of what your school actually does.)
This draft policy was originally produced by myself in my role as Gifted and Talented Innovator within �The Zone� (the David Lister Learning Partnership Action Zone, Hull). I am happy for schools to use this work to further the development of their own school policy so that it accurately reflects each school�s commitment to providing maximum opportunities for all pupils to realise their potential. I would appreciate being informed how this policy has been used.
This draft policy is available as a Word document file or as a text file, on request. Go to the Contact & Feedback page on this site.
