Our panel discusses the language we use when referring to this cohort of students and how we might define what \u201chigh-attaining\u201d means. We then move on to outline a number of classroom strategies for teachers to help them teach and support these learners as well as some common mistakes to avoid. We discuss how we can create a culture of scholarly ambition in our classrooms and approach the curriculum challenges faced by high-attaining students. We also offer tips for making a success of extension activities. We ask, too, how we can help learners to become increasingly independent and to stay motivated and engaged \u2013 even in the face of challenges and set-backs. The panel includes an English and a maths specialist but many of the strategies discussed apply across the curriculum.
