Can anyone tell me roughly how many pupils in a year of 160 pupils would be on the Gifted and Talented register?

Thank you

I think the law has changed and the G&T register is no longer compulsory.

So it's totally up to the schools discretion what they do.

But they used to do top 5%-10%.

Meaningless statistic I'm afraid. For a while it was al the rage and got extra money and support with fun courses/days out etc doing forensic science and stuff for the kids but it's stopped now I believe- cuts and all- grr!

Eldest was on the register but never did any of the events! At her school (highly selective grammar) they were all on G+T for something or other!

10% so 16 for each subject. Some will overlap, done won't.
It is meaningless. I think I read the latest research shows there us no such thing as giftedness.

Lots. It is utterly meaningless IME. We get a letter home every year saying what DD1 has been deemed as being G&T in - it varies considerably. Last year among other things we were told she was gifted and talented for social skills.
