1. Teddington School High Achieving Programme

2. Brightest students fulfilling their potential
Sir Michael Wilshaw - in one of his final reports as Ofsted’s Chief Inspector said that one of the most pressing issues in education was there was still too much talent going to waste.

3. National Picture
In % of non selective secondary school pupils who had achieved a level 5 or above in English and Maths at primary school, failed to attain A or A* in these subjects at GCSE.
In fact of this cohort, 27% of these students failed to achieve the minimum level of expected progress ( B at GCSE).
Few checks being made on whether the teaching of mixed ability groups was challenging the brightest children sufficiently.
Disproportionate efforts being spent in many schools on getting pupils over the D/C borderline rather than supporting the most able to secure the top A/A* grades.
