  • The National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth (NAGTY) was based at the University of Warwick and was founded in 2002 by a government (DfES) initiative for high-achieving secondary students in England. It closed in August 2007, after Warwick University decided not to apply for the new contract. The Academy provided extracurricular activities for students between 11 and 19 years of age. It accepted students from all schools, whether state, CTCs, grammar or private, in the country and accepted all students deemed to be in the top 5%.The Academy itself was split into four distinct components, each of which had different aims and fields of work. The Student Academy was intended to provide provision directly for students; the Professional Academy aimed to improve the provision for Gifted and Talented youngsters in schools and colleges; the 'Expertise centre' intended to provide organizations with support when working with G&T students; and the Research centre conducted research into gifted children and the most effective methods of teaching them. NAGTY was originally contracted for five years. In 2006, the DfES decided not to extend the contract and instead replace it with a "Managing Contractor for Gifted and Talented Education". This change in approach left Warwick University unwilling to bid, leading to the formation of the Young Gifted and Talented program, the replacement for NAGTY. Warwick has decided to work with partners to launch its own independent operation, the , IGGY, with the first pilot program launching in 2008. The International Gateway for Gifted Youth re-launched as IGGY, a social network for gifted 13- to 18-year-olds, in October 2012. (en)
