More Able Students

At London Enterprise Academy, our more able students (MAS) are provided with appropriately challenging provisions in the form of:

Routine assignments and differentiated activities for the gifted and talented during lessons, across all key stages.
Extended work schemes for the MAS to provide an even deeper level of understanding for the topics being covered.
Alongside these, we also have enrichment activities set up for the MAS, which allow them to develop an insight into a number of future career pathways, including –but not limited to, medicine, engineering and law. Workshops also run to facilitate and educate students on their options.

Our MAS also have pen portraits which help the teacher understand the different learning styles, achievements and aspirations of each learner. These can be taken into account by the teacher when planning. The MAS are tracked and monitored regularly to ensure progress is being made.

If you feel that your child is particularly gifted, please contact our MAS coordinator, Ms Bilkis: shuhena.bilkis@londonenterpriseacademy.org
