Gifted & Talented

All departments have a 'gifted and talented' policy. This is further supported by a designated member of staff, Darren Kettle (Head of Monitoring & Assessment) who is responsible for gifted and talented pupils.

We also run an Academically Ambitious programme on a Wednesday afternoon which is a series of intellectually challenging talks and discussions, which range far beyond the syllabus. This is open to all pupils who are interested in stretching themselves academically. Between January and March, this becomes a scholarship class for children invited to sit the Bedales scholarship.

If you require further information, contact Darran Kettle.
