Abstract
In this chapter, we connect our families’ narratives to two dimensions in the literature reviewed in Chapters 1 and 2: conceptions of giftedness in research and in policy represented in the English national programme of gifted and talented education; and theorising about families, social class and education. It has been difficult to treat these dimensions discretely, because practically and logically they overlapped in the narratives, so we have integrated them in the discussion that follows.
