What is gifted and talented?
The study defined gifted children as those with high ability in one or more academic subject, and talented children as those with high ability in sport, music, visual arts and/or performing arts. This study identified that at foundation and key stage 1 gifted and talented children are those who show signs of developing these abilities and skills to an advanced level.
Gifted and talented children may need additional support. Opportunities to study some, or all, subjects to a greater depth and breadth and at an accelerated pace may be required. Where gifted and talented attributes are combined with emotional, physical or social development problems, or where there are specific learning difficulties, the child may also require additional support.
