The Head Office programme offers a specialised, differentiated curriculum for all students aged 6 to 13 years old with advanced, yet complex, learning needs.

Our aim is to deliver in depth intellectual and creative learning so that our students flourish as well balanced individuals.  Students come together, with a specialized teacher, one day a week in small classes.
​
Being bright or advanced in your learning does not automatically mean success. Research shows that plenty of advanced learners do not thrive in a conventional school environment.  In fact a recent report stated that gifted students “remain the least understood and lowest funded special needs group in all educational settings” (AAEGT). This may be due to a variety of reasons:
  • content may be delivered too slowly,
  • the child may already have mastered the content,
  • a learning difficulty could be masking advanced abilities,
  • or the child may struggle to find meaningful friendships or learning partners within their age group.
The Head Office Programme offers advanced students the intellectual and creative challenges they crave, while learning with like-minded peers in a supportive environment.
We would like to thank our generous sponsors and donors for their continuous support:
