  Masterclasses for Exceptionally Able Children and Young People.To mark its 125th anniversary the Gabbitas, Truman and Thring Educational Trust has launched the Tomorrow's Achievers initiative. Gifted youngsters are not normally assumed to be a needy case. The evidence vividly shows otherwise. This new project gives a much neglected minority the essential support that is so often lacking. Does Gifted mean 'Top of the Class'? If you are the parent, guardian or teacher of an exceptionally able child you may be aware that, despite their ability, life does not seem all that easy for them. While some highly able students shine at school, many don't. Some may be bored, so don't give their best. Others may intentionally under-achieve in order not to appear different. A number, perhaps because they are dyslexic, dreamy in class or more withdrawn than other youngsters, are mistakenly written off How can we help?
