Everyone is seen as a learner at JCG and we recognise the importance of developing a growth mindset culture amongst our staff, students and parents in order to excel as both learners and educators. (See Appendix 1)

Teaching Walkthrus
This collection of ‘five-step’ guides for teachers compiled by Tom Sherrington and Oliver Caviglioli is an excellent resource for teachers. ‘It is a beautifully illustrated tour of the most important things to be thinking about in teaching and in the leadership of teaching’ - Dylan William. A copy of Teaching Walkthrus can be found in all Faculty offices for staff reference.
A level Mindset (VESPA)
The Five Elements of the VESPA Mindset There are five key elements to success at A level and these five elements can be learned. Together, the five elements are called VESPA.
V = Vision How well do you know what you want to achieve?
E = Effort How many hours of independent work do you do per week?
S = Systems How do you organise your learning and time?
P = Practice What kind of work do you do to practice your skills?
A = Attitude How do you respond to setbacks?
