 ‘Gifted and Talented: from Programme to Progress’

The national agenda for Gifted & Talented Education is undergoing major changes.

Local Authorities & Headteachers have a crucial role in ensuring that schools recognize the power of Gifted & Talented Education to improve pupil progress.

The programme will include:

  • Invited presentation from Ofsted ‘Understanding the self-evaluation schedule’
  • Round-table discussions to unpick potential limiting factors & see how to address them
  • Sharing an effective leadership model: hear directly from a Headteacher, SIP and Chair of Governors about what can be achieved when the critical partners work together effectively
  • What does ‘Narrowing the Gap’ mean for A, G&T pupils? What are the implications for our work with schools?
  • Update on changes and some insights into how this might affect local practices

This conference will give you the strategies to ensure that: 

ü       School improvement with a focus on self-evaluation is rooted in Gifted & Talented Education

ü       A 'programme' led approach to ‘G&T’ translates to high quality provision being embedded in all schools
