Summary of Potential Plus UK\u2019s Findings and Response<\/h2>\n

Potential Plus UK welcomes the focus on the quality of education that a student receives as highlighted throughout the Framework. Most able learners frequently have starting points that are above and beyond age-related expectations. The emphasis on the quality of their education should lead to an environment that delivers for the individual child regardless of the child\u2019s starting point. However, the Framework does present some concerns in relation to the needs of the most able.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Quality of education:<\/strong> Good quality education for most able learners requires suitable cognitive challenge. The Framework lacks specific mention of cognitive challenge for this group of learners.<\/li>\n
  2. Inclusion:<\/strong> Inclusion for most able, most able disadvantaged and most able pupils with SEND\u00b2 relies on equality of challenge so that they can develop cognitive resilience, leadership and problem-solving skills. Inclusion for most able learners requires this to be integral to the Framework.<\/li>\n
  3. Highlighting specific learner groups:<\/strong> There is limited focus on specific learner groups in the Framework. There is only one reference to most able pupils.<\/li>\n
  4. Personal development:<\/strong> The personal development of most able learners is hindered when tasks are not challenging enough for them to develop resilience and self-regulation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To address these concerns Potential Plus UK has suggested wording that should be added to the Framework to ensure that most able learners have an educational experience that is suitable for their needs.<\/p>\n
