Livingstone Primary & Nursery School More Able

The DfE and Ofsted define the more able in terms of those whose progress significantly exceeds age related expectations. We also include those who have the capacity to achieve or perform at the very highest levels and consequently require more challenging learning. Within this there will be a small number of children who show exceptional abilities in one or more subjects in the school curriculum.

Livingstone Primary and Nursery School is committed to providing an inclusive environment conducive to learning for all. Each child is valued, respected and challenged regardless of race, gender, religion social background, culture or disability. The school recognises that there are children who have abilities or potential beyond their age related expectations and who require more challenging learning.
