Gifted & Talented Programme
Gifted in PE....Talented in Sport
The aim of the Gifted and Talented programme is:
To improve the recognition of, and the support and provision for gifted and talented pupils in Physical Education and Sport.
There are three key areas of this work;
- High Quality - Raising the quality of PE for gifted and talented young people
- Support - ensuring appropriate personal development support for young talented performers in sport
- Raising the quality of coaching and competition for talented performers in sport
The strand contributes to the 5 hour offer, primarily through High Quality PE and school sport provision.
What's going on in Northumberland
Please click here for information on how schools across Northumberland have been able to develop a consistent approach to Gifted & Talented (G&T).
As a result of this work, which has been led by SSP's and Sports Colleges, schools now have clear criteria for the identification of and tracking of G & T pupils in PE & School Sport.

Supporting Talented Athletes through the JAE Programme
The Junior Athlete Education (JAE) framework is designed to help schools build effective support programmes for young talented performers in their schools.
It is essential that any support program is embedded into a school's wider Gifted and Talented program, with a whole school approach, that focuses on personalisation and meeting the Every Child Matters outcomes.
For further information about the JAE Framework, please visit the Youth Sport Trust website.
