At TBS, we are committed to ensuring that all students, including our most able learners, are supported and challenged to reach their full potential. Our Most Able Provision is designed to foster excellence through three key strands:
- Striving Stars: This is our rewards programme for the top 5% of students in each year group who demonstrate outstanding behaviour for learning. Striving Stars celebrates their dedication, commitment, and excellence, motivating them to continue striving for success.
- Progress and Support: Academic mentoring or behaviour is provided to students who are identified as being at risk of underachieving in one or more of their subjects. The aim of is to offer tailored support to address the individual challenges they may be facing.
- Curriculum Enrichment (Trips, In-School Events, and Super Curricular Opportunities): Our super-curricular programme extends learning beyond the classroom, offering trips, in-school events, and specialised curriculum opportunities. These activities deepen knowledge, foster critical thinking, and enhance cultural capital. We also provide guidance on career pathways, directing students towards work experience, internships, and higher education to support their future success. Through these three strands, we aim to create an environment where the most able students thrive, making the most of their talents and preparing them for future success.
