There is an initiative running in schools at the moment, which involves the appointment of one of the Teachers as a 'Gifted & Talented Co-ordinator', in order to target resources within the schools, to provide for the more intelligent students.

Personally, I would prefer this approach, which potentially could benefit all gifted children, rather than just the ones who can successfully pursue a claim in the courts.

Obviously, it will need funding, but if the Council has not had to divert monies to subsidising private education, this will be more likely to be forthcoming.

So, while not saying this girl is not deserving of 'special' treatment, I would like to think it could be provided in a 'normal' school background, which would also benefit her in areas other than her 'specialities'.
