Recommendations: Members views and comments are requested . Background Doc(s): There are no background papers to the report Page 1 of 3 Bolton Gifted and talented update December 2006 Able, Gifted and Talented pupils are those individuals who may have an exceptional ability in a particular area; be skilled across a range of subjects or have a recognised talent for art, performance or sport. Bolton’s Priorities for 2006-7 for these pupils have included supporting our schools to identify their own Gifted and talented cohort, to set school level Gifted and talented targets and for us to develop and aggregate target for Bolton as well as encouraging a greater range of in class activity to challenge, inspire and stimulate our most able young people. The use of conversion data in schools has highlighted issues relating to the progress of gifted and talented pupils particularly in KS3 and KS4. Identified pupils are being tracked more effectively in schools and in 2007 some pupils on G&T registers will be monitored for progression and curriculum entitlement by LA officers. We intend to improve the rates of progression for a significant percentage of pupils at all key stages with reference to previous attainment levels in Bolton.
