My DS's Teacher told us almost 2 years ago (then aged 6) that she considered him G&T. Since then, I have instigated discussions with his teachers and the head about what G&T means in terms of his education but no one seems to know. They seem unwilling to discuss this with me.
Our School is 'fully inclusive' and accepts children that, frankly, other schools won't take. They do fantastic work with under-achievers and those with social and personal issues - these are all brilliant aspects of the school (and reasons why I send my DCs there). However, as an inclusive school I expect them to recognise that the children that excel need to be nurtured as well.
I had a meeting with the Head recently who stated that they were looking at developing a G&T Policy as a new teacher to the school has experience in this area.
Can anyone recommend anything else I can do? I completely understand that if my DS isn't G&T then I won't pursue it further but he is consistently top of the class and first in tests. I just want to do the best for my DS.
Many thanks in advance.
