MORE than 480 Swindon teachers will be taking part in a training day on Monday on how to teach gifted and talented children.

The Teaching and Learning for Gifted and Talented event has been organised by Swindon's Excellent Cluster.

Headteachers Andrew Fleet, pictured, of Hreod Parkway, Scott Sissons, of Dorcan Technology College, and Steve Flavin, of Churchfields, along with their staff, will be taking part and seminars will take place at all three schools.

There will also be teachers from many of Swindon's primary schools involved in the event, which will also take place at Bath University's Oakfield Campus.
