Professional development materials on gifted and talented provision These Include: Materials adapted from the  Excellence in Cities National Development Programme for Gifted and Talented Co-ordinators. The EiC initiative is aimed at schools in areas of economic, social and educational deprivation, but much of the information and recommended good practice for gifted and talented provision is relevant to all schools.

The materials have been written with a focus on secondary schools, but have cross-phase relevance and application. They give an overview of issues in identifying and providing for able, gifted and talented pupils

A series of briefing documents, Launchpads , on specific aspects of gifted and talented education, for example, ‘Thinking skills’ or ‘Mentoring’. Many of these are also relevant to raising achievement for all pupils. Versions of the Launchpads have been developed for both the primary and secondary phases.
