    Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Policy

    2016
    Rationale
    Bletchley Park Primary School is a nurturing community where we can Be, Think, Grow.
    The Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program is based on the belief that all
    students have the right to achieve their best possible learning outcomes and that some
    students have a higher potential to achieve academically than their peers. This policy
    has been developed using the Department of Education Gifted and Talented Guidelines,
    March 2011.
    Definition
    Gifted students have the potential to achieve above their peers in one or more domains.
    As defined by Gagnes Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent 2.0, this
    encompasses approximately 10% of all students.
    The GATE program is has a specific academic focus with provision for students who are
    Intellectually Gifted and/or Academically Talented (IGAT).
    Identification
    Identification needs to occur as early as possible after commencement at the school,
    and must be flexible and continuous.
    Students will be identified using a variety of sources including:

    NAPLAN
    Whole school data
    Grades
    On-entry data
    Teacher recommendation checklist
    Parents

    Identification processes will be inclusive, so that gifted and talented students are not
    educationally disadvantaged on the basis of racial, cultural or socio-economic
