Subject specific criteria
Students will demonstrate diverse strengths across the curriculum. A student who is gifted in English may display certain characteristics not present in a student who is gifted mathematically.
If you teach a particular subject, how you identify students as gifted will depend on using criteria that are unique to your subject.
For further details on these characteristics, visit the National Curriculum website and see the inclusion section. You will find detailed subject-specific criteria for each National Curriculum subject.
