Our school has a policy that doesn't make much sense to me, see below, what do you think of gifted definition, can they not also be more able:
Definitions (school adaptation of DfE guidance)
?More able? refers to pupils who are assessed on the foundation stage profile at scale point 9 or at the end of years 1-6, one national curriculum level above average in reading, writing, maths and science.
?Gifted? is the term used to define those children who have exceptional abilities in one or more academic subjects and who have not been identified as ?more able? (above).
?Talented? is the term used to define those children who may excel in areas of the curriculum requiring visual-spatial or practical skills (eg Art, Music, PE, Drama)
Identification, recording and reporting
Identification and recording of more able, gifted and talented pupils will be carried out annually by the class teacher in term 6 as part of and in addition to the end of year assessments and with contributions from the parent (see appendix). Assessment information is reported to parents in annual reports
