Gifted & Talented Policy
Copland aspires to provide all our pupils with an education which allows them to fulfil their intellectual, artistic and sporting potential, and which prepares them for active citizenship in wider society by teaching them to value themselves and others. The School’s Equal Opportunities Policy defines these goals as a moral issue as well as a matter of effective teaching. Our pupils are entitled to appropriately differentiated materials and methods of teaching, so that all find learning stimulating and challenging and can fully develop their potential.
Our Assessment Policy plays a key role in furthering this aim by defining the means through which we judge the potential of individuals and monitor their progress, while the Behaviour Policy sets out the principles on which we build our learning environment, providing mutual respect and safety for all.
The Policy aims to create a school environment in which encouragement is given to all pupils to develop their abilities and interests to the full. To cultivate self-discipline, a responsible attitude and good working relationships with staff based on mutual respect. All students should feel secure in excelling and leading. Students should feel good about achieving and doing well.
