Dear all,
I am currently putting together a business plan for an extra-curricular school for Gifted and Talented youngsters aged 11-13.
Initially starting out as a weekend class, I'm also looking to put on week-long programmes in the holidays.
Each 6-week Saturday programme would cost £75 with a 5-day programme in the holidays costing £85.
The point of the school would be to push Gifted and Talented youngsters so that they learn to utilise their gifts in a manner than can be applied to school work, enabling them to achieve their very best at GCSE.
With the government announcing a renewed focus on A*-C grades, lots of schools are turning their focus to C/D borderline students safe in the knowledge that those who are gifted will achieve within these parameters anyway. I want to ensure that those students are not allowed to coast, instead challenging them with advanced materials and ideas.
What I want to know is this - how many parents out there would be interested in such a programme?
A simple yes/no would do, as would any feedback.
Cheers me dears!
Rebby
