Read more about Gifted Education Centre:
The Gifted Education Centre was established in 1995 to provide professional support services for gifted children and all those living and working with them.
We help parents understand their children and deal with the specific issues they may face, we help teachers to identify and cater for gifted children in their classes and schools and we help researchers who are interested in studying how our children learn, think and behave.
We link to counselling and assessment services and other support agencies, liaise with parent groups in different parts of the country, and run open-forum parent evenings and workshops. We run the One Day School and the GO programmes to provide high quality, research-based learning opportunities and peer companionship for your child. From time to time we organise holiday programmes on those unexpected and different topics that intrigue gifted children and we publish a useful small booklet called 'Choosing A School'. We help teachers with professional development, through workshops, conferences and seminars.
The Centre was formerly the George Parkyn Centre.
