Supporting Gifted Children
Gifted learners have the ability to learn and process complex information rapidly. They have a need to explore subjects in surprising depth, an insatiable curiosity, as demonstrated by endless questions and inquiries. They also have the ability to comprehend material above their peers. Gifted learners are those with abilities in one or more academic subjects, such as maths or English. ‘talented’ learners are those who have practical skills in areas such as sport, music, design or creative and performing arts.
