The Learner Academy is a main feature of this programme and provides activities for gifted and talented learners by offering them subject-specific events, activities, resources for that include, math, modern languages, creative arts, sports and drama. The Learner Academy has also been established for children and young people who demonstrate high ability or potential in vocational, learners, and entrepreneurial and cross-curricular skills.
The YG&T programme has brought together universities in every region, regional partnerships, national organisations, and private companies both large and small, to focus on individual pupil needs and provide support for those pupils, teachers and other staff, governors, parents/carers and other interested people.
