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."

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 interests/enthusiasms/passions for learning can I develop?

What helps me feel it is OK to work hard at something and enjoy what I accomplish?

These are the sort of questions that the APEX project 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 and enhancing 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.
