Welcome to the Scottish Network for Able Pupils website!
This website is designed to help you explore the education of able pupils. There is information that will be of interest to teachers, pupils and parents.
Many countries in the world call these young people gifted and talented and certainly our Scottish pupils have exceptional abilities in a whole range of areas, however in keeping with our inclusive approach to education in Scotland we prefer to call our pupils "more able". In many ways, what we call them doesn't matter, what is important is that their abilities are recognised, challenged and celebrated.
SNAP is working across the UK with schools, cluster schools and Education Authorities. We also run workshops for young people, give keynote addresses and advice to parents.
Whatever your reason for visiting our website we hope you will find information that is useful to you.
