More Able and Talented

At Flint High School we believe in creating an inclusive learning community that will promote stimulating and challenging experiences for all students through a broad balanced curriculum. We also offer quality learning activities that focus on the particular needs of the more able and talented students. We are committed to identifying and meeting the needs of these children as early as possible in order to enable them to achieve their best.

We are part of a wider Flintshire MAT group of schools working together to provide quality experiences for many students across a broad range subjects.

Some of the activities that our students have experienced include:-

RAMBERT DANCE COMPANY

A contemporary dance experience of a lifetime with an elite professional from the Rambert Dance Company. A 6 hour workshop based upon the new production that the dance company are currently touring called ‘The Comedy of Change''.

Performing arts Workshop

Frog and Roast Beef Theatre Company

This was a French language performing arts workshop. The activities for the whole day were delivered by a professional actor and carried out solely in French. Students from other schools participated in the day working together and developing confidence in language. 

Thea Stallwood Art in Nature Digital Media Workshop.

This was a fantastic opportunity for 20 year 9 students to spend a week with a professional film maker learning and developing artistic and technical skills in movie making. Some of the students work is being entered for viewing at an exhibition at Theatre Clwyd later on this year.
