Gifted and Talented

We are passionate about supporting each individual pupil in the Prep Department. To that end as well as offering traditional learning support we also provide for our high attaining girls.

The staff team identify and regularly review the top "gifted and talented" pupils in each year group, through formative and summative assessment.

• To be recognised as "gifted" an individual must demonstrate great understanding and ability in a subject area. Many of our “gifted” pupils demonstrate high ability in more than one subject area.
• To be recognised as "talented" an individual displays great talent in a subject such as music, ballet, sport, drama and art or design technology.

At Pipers we wish to provide for these pupils and to give them the challenge and extension which they yearn and deserve. Teachers carefully plan activities for these children within lessons and our many clubs, outings, library and computer suite enable all our pupils to explore areas of interest in depth.

The Challenge Club
The Challenge Club is an invitation only club and has been established to provide group activities for our high attaining girls. This club encourages questioning and thinking skills, team work and collaboration; it aims to allow the girls to explore unusual areas in and out of the curriculum.
