APEX (ALL are Able Pupils Extending Opportunities)
Creating Gifts and Developing Talents: Inclusive, Aspirational
Education for ALL
‘We want all Children and Young People
to do better in life than they ever thought they could. We will
give children and young people the help that they need to do
this’
(Bath and North East Somerset Local
Authority, 2005)
...and as one of our 9 year old pupils said, "Nothing is
impossible to a child with imagination."
Developing Inclusive Gifted and Talented Educational Theory,
Practice and Provision - presentation
What floats my boat?
What do I do that I value?
How can I improve what I am doing?
How can I contribute to good
learning journeys?
What helps me feel it is OK
to work hard at something and succeed?
These are the sort of questions that APEX is helping all
children, young people and educators ask and answer.
In Bath and North East Somerset we believe that all children and
young people are capable of surprising us and themselves as they
work on developing talents to create, value and offer their
gifts. We are developing inclusive and inclusional
gifted and talented educational practice, provision and theory
to improve the quality of the education all our children and
young people experience.
