At Scotch, extension and enrichment are primarily delivered through classroom differentiation. Children are pre-tested and often work in like ability groupings which target their zone of development to ensure that they are always engaged and learning at their point of need. Teaching staff develop appropriately challenging learning for students.
Students are given many opportunities to participate in activities outside the curriculum to further challenge their learning or to address interests and passions. These opportunities include clubs, competitions and collaborative projects spanning the sub-schools.
