What is meant by More Able and Talented?
In Wales we will use the term More Able and Talented to describe pupils who require opportunities for enrichment and extension that go beyond those provided for the general cohort of pupils.
In general terms approximately 20% of the school population may be More Able while the top 2% could be considered Exceptionally Able.

Successful schools for all
Successful schools are single-minded in narrowing gaps. They: use data to identify gaps and to make them visible,
pinpoint pupils at risk of underperforming and challenge those whose progress needs to accelerate
accept no excuses take time to understand the needs of each pupil,
know what works best for vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils and apply it consistently and relentlessly
evaluate, celebrate and share success.
