- Our web chat service provides information for parents/carers via the CHAT WITH US link on our website: potentialplusuk.org

Our Family Essentials Membership was introduced during the March lockdown to provide families seeking more in-depth support and guidance with additional benefits, including bookable telephone advisory appointments, a wide range of e-publications and regular informative mailings.
Our School Membership supports teachers to meet the needs of their high potential learners through appropriate e-resources, telephone advice, regular mailings and access to training, as well as offering online materials for their parents/carers.
