Gifted and talented

Little girl studying hard

We all think our children are amazing, but how do you know if your child is truly gifted and talented? What does the phrase actually mean and, if your child is identified as 'G&T', how do you support them at home?

This section of the site had lots of information and advice to help you spot the signs of a gifted learner, understand what it means to have a gifted and talented child, what to expect from the school and how to support your child at home. 

We also explain more about how gifted children demonstrate excellence in different subjects and what enrichment is.
