For outstanding pupils, the best is yet to come

Article Abstract:

At Holyport Church of England School near Maidenhead, England the headteacher has given a single teacher responsibility for the school's efforts regarding very able children. Any special talent is identified and lessons adapted to stimulate the special ability. Special effort is made for children who struggle so it is thought only fair to do the same for the gifted child. It is found that only a small amount of time is needed to make the special adaptations necessary. The Headteacher Mrs Johanna Raffan is reluctant to accelerate children, that is put them into a class of older children, as they are seldom exceptionally able across the whole curriculum.
