At ATS, we are constantly trying to improve not only the attainment, but also the whole educational experience for all of our students. One strategy we employ to support this is our Gifted and Talented programme. Our Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator, Mr Gyves identifies, monitors and supports those students who will take part in the programme. This involves effective and appropriate teaching and learning styles, differentiated teaching materials and a vast array of trips and activities, often involving universities or top businesses.
Our Gifted and Talented students not only do well academically , but engage in experiences ( like spending the day at Cambridge University on a private tour with an Admissions Tutor) , which extend the boundaries of their aspirations.
Here is an update of the forthcoming Gifted and Talented events
MUN Master Classes 25th and 26th May . A group of year 9 boys will be off timetable to attend a conference which is aimed at replicating actual United Nations conferences. Each school represents a country and researches and debates a world issue such as poverty or Aids. In previous years we have done really well in this event and have even been won the competition on the day.
Common Purpose Leadership Scheme - three boys from year 9 will be involved in this project to help boys become better leaders
Lambeth Science and Technology Challenge Day on the 24th June 10 year 8/9 boys will take part in various activities in teams that will challenge them to develop and extend their science and technology awareness.
Summer schools . Both the boroughs of Lambeth and Westminster will be running Gifted and Talented summer schools -again this year. We will be inviting some of our students to get involved.
