Gifted and Talented Programme

A number of initiatives have been introduced between The Gryphon School and Sherborne Girls enabling the brightest students to work together. This partnership enables the two schools to help prepare bright Sixth Form students for Oxbridge and Medicine / Veterinary UCAS applications. The pupils meet once a fortnight in the Sixth Form Centre to deliver subject specific presentations and question one another. A Gifted and Talented Quiz for Year 9 students across the two schools has been set up, which has proven extremely popular. It is planned that this cooperation is to be extended to Year 10 and 11 of The Gryphon in the next academic year with the aim being inviting our Year 9/10/11 scholars to give presentations to pupils from both The Gryphon and Sherborne School on a fortnightly basis, with this possibly being reciprocated during the year. This is already being trailed between Sherborne Girls and Sherborne School, very successfully.
