This
website was created for schools in the Brighton & Hove 'Excellence in
Cities' cluster working with 'Gifted & Talented' children aged
9-12 during the period 2004-6. The site continued to attract many visitors
in the following years and the 'G&T
News' and
'Resources'
sections
were regularly updated until the end of 2013. The site remains in
place to provide a record of the activities undertaken for those
involved, and as possible inspiration for others involved in similar
activities.
G&TWISE reviewed this website as follows:
"...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."
