All pupils at Blue Gate Fields Junior School are entitled to a structured, balanced and challenging curriculum that is suited to their needs and their aspirations. Providing enriching learning experiences for all our pupils is vital and this includes specific provision for the most able.

• Develop a recognition and awareness of talented and most able pupils and their individual strengths;
• Ensure that all teachers share responsibility for the monitoring of pupils, including the most able;
• Recognise under-achievement and seek to remove barriers to learning;
• Provide opportunities for all pupils to develop their strengths through high quality extra-curricular activities and curriculum enrichment, including specific provision for gifted, talented and able pupils;
• Consider the personal, social and emotional needs of all pupils, including those of our most able;
