Latest National G&T News - documents and reports - here           Suggested Resources - here 

This website was created  primarily for the use of schools in the Brighton & Hove 'Excellence in Cities' cluster while its 'Gifted & Talented' strand was active during 2004-6, working with children from Years 5-7. Our projects and lists of resources seem to remain
of interest to other schools and are still attracting a considerable number of visitors, we have therefore continued to maintain the
site and to update the
 G&T News and Resources sections.  Any suggestions for additions please email dave.dyer@middlestreet.org

G&TWISE and 'Young Gifted & Talented' have featured this site on their lists of resources. Here are quotes from their review:

"
...examples of good practice that have taken place in local schools, accompanied by excellent pictorial records and video clips."

"This site is valuable, not just for the Excellence in Cities schools in Brighton and Hove. Its overall content will assist in reviewing
 policy and practice for G&T provision and support through the wealth of suggested resources."
