Do you tell people your child is considered G&T?

Becauyse dh and I don't. We are very proud of dd1 of course and try to encourage her as much as we can without being pushy. All our daughters are amazing - we don't need the G&T label to know that! I just don't feel the need to tell people - and I couldn't in any case find the words to do so without sounding boastful!

Part of me thinks that maybe I should be more publicly effusive about it though - what do others do?

What subject(s)?

Maths, maybe English - teacher getting back to me.

Am delighted and proud, but I don't really know what any of it means in real terms. Is it just a label? Does anything happen, will he be given different work? Or is it simply that children are recognised as G&T?

I did ask the teacher, but she just said he was better than good. Which wasn't all that helpful!

Congratulations to her, Ohforfoxsake. The school should be giving you some literature on what it means. There's also a lot of information online and various threads in here have links to the relevant sites.

Different schools have different cut off points for G&T - top 10% or three years above her age etc - and how they provide for G&T students. Have your school give you a copy of their G&T policy.

I would suggest you read it and then ask to speak with the school's G&T coordinator (Leading Teacher) to discuss how the school is going to provide for her particular abilities.

Thanks DadatLarge, I'll ask his teacher for the information
