There were some questions in Parliament yesterday about children’s education across the UK, with one of the areas under discussion being the young, gifted and talented programme.
The January 2009 figures show that at Primary school level, the Isle of Wight has one of the highest percentages of children judged as Gifted and Talented.
The Island is ranked at number eight with 11.5%, out of over 150 areas UK wide. The National average is 8.7%, so the little ones on the Island are doing really well.
