Learning Circles for Gifted and Talented Pupils

A Learning Circle allows gifted pupils from different schools to work together on a collaborative project.  Bringing together talented pupils from a number of schools allows them to work with confidence in a group of like minded peers.

Our projects are designed to stretch the most able.  We encourage them to use the skills and knowledge they have learnt and to apply them in novel and challenging settings.

The workshop session can be delivered in your school or, and more effectively, it can be delivered at a central location bringing together G&T pupils from a number of schools.  The group then work together on line for a further 6 to 8 weeks exploring issues, discussing ideas and preparing a final report for publication on the web.
