There's much debate but little consensus about how best to teach the more able and gifted and talented students in mixed ability classes. John Bayley watches two secondary teachers with different approaches. Daniel Smith from Capital City Academy in north London is teaching some basic concepts to a year 10 music class just starting their GCSE course and he wants John's advice on how to stretch his top students. Fiona O'Sullivan is already differentiating with her year 11 English class. She gives the more able students different worksheets from the rest but John has some thoughts on how Fiona could adopt a more radical approach.
