Would you call my 8 year old gifted?

[EmRaw]

I got a letter from the school with DD1's report to say that she had been placed on the Gifted and Talented list for 'Academic Performance'.

I am fuming at the school, as although she is in the top groups, she has never been given extra work to do, or special lessons, and now it turns out that she is gifted. It is no wonder that they have been complaining about her behaviour all term.

She got a level 2a in her Year 2 SATs and has achieved a Level 3 in all subjects this year, which is obviously above where you would expect her to be. I mean the kid is obviously very clever - you can tell that when you talk to her.

She always has her nose in a book, and asks lots of questions, such as 'what happened before time?' which clearly show a deep insight.

So, what should I do? Should I look into moving her school? She obviously needs to be somewhere where they can nurture her, but where? Should I talk to the school?

Thankyou for your time!

My DS like a few on here received level 3's at the year 2 sats, however only got a 2a, for writing, this is despite having taught himself to write at about 3 years old, he's a bit of a funny one, as he was drawing road maps at this age, including correctly spelt road names with no input from me, however now his handwritng is worse than back then, because they expect him to write according to proper methods (which I understand is necessary), ironically when he was 3 it was difficult to tell if DS, or an adult had written certain things, so have no idea what has happend. I have just been notified that he has been put on the more able pupil register at school, and have been invited to apply for a place at a creative thinking workshop, which I hope I can attend, as he has been identified due to his maths, however when I tried to tackle last night's homework with him, he just added up the answer in his head, and got very angry and upset when I had to explain to him he had to show his working out, and in particular the way the worksheet dictated. We made a little progress when I asked him to do the answer in his head, and then explain to me how he arrived at the answer, but it all seems a little too backwards, and long winded , could really do with some advice :)

Our dd got three level 3's at end of yr 2 - she got level 5's at end of yr 6. She's top average.
