Advocacy Letter

​

I don't recommend that you use this letter in its entirety, but you may find some of the ideas it contains helpful in advocating for your child. Tactically, you don't want to be too critical of the school at the outset, but to aim for a partnership where they recognise the special needs of your child and at the very least stop doing things that are actively turning the child off of learning.

Doing Right by the Very Bright

​

A summary of some useful ideas for the ethics and practice of working with gifted children.

​

 

GIFT has been supporting the brightest and most curious young minds for over 40 years.

 

​

We run residential weekends, workshop days, online clubs and Summer Schools for secondary age children. These are relaxed, informal opportunities to explore unusual subjects in depth, meet like-minded peers and form lasting friendships.

 

People often comment that it's nice to be somewhere that they can enjoy learning about unusual things without being judged or the pressure of exams.

 

We also provide day workshops, advice and training for schools and home educators working with all age groups.

​

Bursaries are often available to support students who would otherwise be unable to attend.
