Young Gifted and Talented

The Young Gifted and Talented Programme (YG&T) is the core of the national programme for gifted and talented education, managed by CfBT Education Trust and funded and supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). YG&T is dedicated to providing exciting opportunities and resources for gifted and talented learners aged 4 to 19 in England, both in and out of the classroom. The focus of the programme is to make sure that learners have every opportunity to recognise, use and develop their gifts and talents, wherever they come from and whatever school or college they attend. The programme also aims to encourage young people to raise their aspirations as well as realise their potential, regardless of background. Offering a broad spectrum of information and resources, the programme is readily accessible through a single online portal: www.ygt.dcsf.gov.uk or by contacting Ann Bridgland, Lead Professional/Education Adviser, YG&T abridgland@cfbt.com or Margaret Evans, Communications & Marketing Manager mevans@cfbt.com.
