Exciting Extensions
Gifted and talented children also need support and encouragement to make progress at their pace. At Adcote provision for this is built into the curriculum. Skills in Critical Thinking and Psychology are developed alongside gifted and talented pupils from other local schools, leading to pupils taking AS qualifications several years early.
Gymnastics, Trampolining, Dance and Drama are all successes for the school, where the girls reach exceptionally high standards. The formation of a gardening club has led to the creation of Gold Medal winning gardens in national shows. A group from year 10 enter the Young Enterprise business competition. A team also takes part in the Shrewsbury Mock Trial Competition. The school enters pupils for all rounds of the UK Mathematics Trust Maths Challenge, and in 2007 entered its first team in the Team Mathematics Challenge.
