VESPA
At Three Spires Sixth Form we want to do everything we can to support students with the transition to adult life. As such we have invested in a program called VESPA.
This program has been created to support P16 students to become better learners. It centres around 5 pillars
V x E x S x P x A = success
These 5 elements = success! But the key is that all 5 elements need to be in place as they all feed into each other. We aim to enhance each of these elements to provide students with an effective mindset for A Level/Level 3 learning.
Over the last 15-20 years, much research into the psychology of success has been conducted and the findings are very interesting. Achieving the best grades possible at A Levels is more than just learning the specification content. A particular set of skills and an advanced mindset is necessary. In other words, attitude, self-belief about abilities and self-awareness of students own goals are essential to being an effective and successful A Level student.
All students will have a 6 week intensive program of VESPA workshops.
