InspireUs offers a variety of exciting, interesting and creative experiences for primary-age children. From the [InspirUs Website](http://www.lrgs.org.uk/inspirus): > "InspirUS is a Gifted and Talented programme run by LRGS for able boys and girls. It is open to all of Lancaster’s primary schools for children in Years 3 and 4. It aims to raise aspirations and to encourage able pupils, especially those who may not have fully appreciated their academic potential, to explore avenues well beyond the confines of the National Curriculum. The five week programme of study is incredibly varied, including all aspects of the curriculum. There is a strong focus on art and creativity as we want to encourage children to discover alternative ways of thinking, working and learning. Resources will be provided to enable the children to extend their learning experience beyond our sessions."
