The definition of "star talent" or "the gifted" means different things to different people. To me, a pupil with undisputable star talent describes a pupil who excels far beyond the ordinary or the expected.
Equally, pupils who display advanced competency in a certain subject or demonstrate a much deeper understanding than their peers, or indeed display an ability to really listen and improve rapidly, can all be defined as having a "gift". But aside from the obvious, nurturing that gift or talent is also about the individual's temperament and desire to want to progress; without this, the talent may as well not exist.
