What does being on the G&T register mean for your child?

[peanutbutterkid]

I mean, what extra (if anything) does the school do to extend the child?

DD (y2) does literacy with the Yr3-4s (there are 3 groups of Y3-4s, each sized about 25 children, and she is in the middle ability group).

She's in top sets for other subjects, within her usual class, but I think of that as a fairly ordinary thing (not just G&T thing).

As far as I know, maintained (State) schools are obliged to put their top 10% on the G&T list and make some special provision for them. What is done seems to vary greatly from school to school and some schools don't really seem to have worked out their policy. When my son was in Reception I was told that someone from the LEA would come in a couple of times a week and do extension lessons for the G&Ts (didn't happen), then this year they thought there would some special projects for the G&Ts outside school hours...
I'd love to know what is actually required of the school, and some examples of successful schemes that schools have in this regard.

My son (aged 4) is on the G&T register and I was given some information with a website to join. It is aimed at much older children and I haven't shown it to him.

I am impressed with how his school are helping him and they are giving him spellings to learn each week as he is able to read already.

I had never heard of G&T before.
