Teachersmedia Videos

The following videos were part of a week of programmes in February 2009 on Teachers TV (now defunct) exploring how schools cater for their most able and talented pupils. The videos are now available on the Teachersmedia website (2011>) at:

Gifted and Talented Pupil Voice: Lucy

• www.teachersmedia.co.uk/videos/gifted-and-talent

Lucy is part of a small group of pupils who make up the research group at Tipton St John Primary school in Exeter. They conducted a study into learning across the school and analysed responses to their questionnaires as part of the school’s pupil voice project to improve provision for gifted and talented pupils.

Lucy takes us through the findings of the group and talks about how the research work itself has been stretching for them. She shows us the way the school has taken on board the views of its gifted and talented pupils and some of the changes they have made, from more pair work in class to ‘Think Days’ across the school.

Exeter Deaf Academy

Jamie is a deaf pupil at Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education - and is also a gifted and talented student. He tells us in his own words, in British Sign Language, how his school has listened to pupils like himself and taken on board the particular needs that gifted and talented deaf students have.

From vertical learning groups to improving the experiences that deaf students have with partner hearing schools, Jamie and his peers have made a significant contribution to their school’s provision for gifted and talented deaf students.

Battle of the Brains

Youth and science come together in a competition of global proportions. Battle of the Brains is a four-part documentary series which tells the story of a unique group of brilliant teenage students working towards the International Science Olympiads held in Beijing.

The students are both vulnerable and inspiring as they let us in on their journey towards the Olympiad. The 24 young biologists work their way through the equivalent of a first year university biology course in 16 days. Only four will be selected from this group to travel to China to compete in the International Biology Olympiads.
