Gifted and Talented students are encouraged to think critically and are expected to take a leading role within their classes.

Gifted & Talented is a national strategy to support the most able students throughout their education. At the Crypt, students of all abilities have the opportunity to achieve, but the Gifted & Talented Programme is designed to support the most able students identified in individual subjects. 

The Gifted & Talented programme is led by Mr Bawden, who monitors the progress of students closely but, more importantly, oversees the curriculum to ensure the most able students are challenged within the classroom. Subject specific activities help support individual students and enrichment activities are organised to motivate and inspire students to go on and fulfil their potential.  Students are also given extra support in examination classes, ensuring everything is being done to allow students to achieve the highest A*/A grades.

Through offering provision for our most able pupils, all pupils benefit.  All pupils are given the demanding work expected of our most able and all pupils are therefore challenged and stretched in their classes to reach their potential. Gifted and Talented work is not the exclusive preserve of the few, but the daily diet of all.

If you have any questions about the Gifted & Talented programme please do not hesitate to contact Mr Bawden at the school or by e-mail abawden@crypt.gloucs.sch.uk.
