Students will follow a mentoring programme that is built around the principles of VESPA, a strategy designed to transform student mindset.  VESPA stands for:

• Vision
• Effort
• Systems
• Practice
• Attitude   

At the heart of the VESPA approach is supporting students to understand the principles behind a growth mindset.  VESPA feeds through into individual and group mentoring sessions.  Subject teachers are also encouraged to understand the programme in order to support their students build towards sustainable success.
