Gifted & Talented Education

Young Gifted & Talented Programme

YG&T is part of the national G&T strategy, funded and supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).  The programme is currently designed to offer services which stretch and stimulate as many of the brightest and most talented young learners aged 4-19 in England as possible, wherever they come from and whatever school or college they attend.

YG&T is a collaborative, dynamic project which aims to bring together universities, regional partnerships, national strategic partners and commercial organisations, both large and small, to extend broker support for learners and the adults who support them.

Opportunities, within and beyond the classroom (both face-to-face and online), materials and resources are available.  We cater for those children and young people gifted in, for example, science, mathematics, modern languages, or talented in areas which include the creative arts, sports and drama.  The programme is also for those children and young people who demonstrate high ability or potential in vocational, leadership, entrepreneurial and cross-curricular skills. 

The programme includes the City Challenge Gifted and Talented Education Strand (City GATES), a three-year £15m element of the overall City Challenge programme.  This has the overarching objective of achieving a significant, measurable improvement in progression to university by G&T learners from the three Challenge areas - London, Greater Manchester and the Black Country.  It is facilitated through a structured programme for G&T learners of needs analysis, subject specific learning, progression skills, mentoring/coaching, university experiences, social networking and the recognition of achievement.

Whether you are a learner, a parent or carer, a governor, a member of staff in a school, college, university or local authority, YG&T has much to offer you.  Take a look at the YG&T website where you will find lots of information to support you.
