A student who is exceptionally able is someone identified by professionally qualified individuals as having outstanding talent. These individuals show the potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment, in one or more domains, when compared with other students of a similar age, experience, or environment.
Students in this range may require educational programmes or services beyond those normally provided by the regular school programme in order to realise their full potential. Learner Support interventions for students identified as exceptionally able are developed by the Child Study Team and will require commitments of additional teaching hours.
