Is there a More Able, Gifted & Talented (MAG&T) programme?

At The Alice Smith School, a larger percentage of students than usual show the ‘above average intelligence’ scores required for MAG&T identification (up to 50% in some year groups). We believe this is due to high levels of family support, clear admissions criteria, high quality teaching and in some cases, additional tutoring.


The provision for the more-able, gifted and talented at the primary campus is extremely comprehensive. Provision is fully integrated into the curriculum using the latest international research into how MAG&T students learn. This is overseen by the Vice Principal
for Learning and Teaching and the Head of Subject Teams and Heads of Department for
each subject.
