Unlocking Every Child's Potential
We support children and young people with High Learning Potential and Dual/Multiple Exceptionality — because every child deserves the chance to thrive.
Every Child Has Unique Gifts Worth Nurturing
The Potential Trust was founded to provide, promote, and encourage whatever makes education more interesting and exciting for children and young people up to the age of 18 who have High Learning Potential or Dual and Multiple Exceptionality.
We believe that curiosity, creativity, perception, and persistence should be celebrated and supported — regardless of a child's background or circumstances.
