Embed the VESPA Model in your organisation with our bespoke training sessions
The VESPA Concept grew from the award winning books published by Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin.
Based on our mindset books, our tutor resource slides enable teachers to deliver the full VESPA programme.
Our research led sessions are designed to help students through this journey and equip them for a lifetime of successful learning.
"Absolutely brilliant, really opened up my mind to effort and how you did it within about 6 minutes from both videos is just amazing. Good job."
"This is a great idea! This will likely help in my revision and upcoming sixth form tasks! Normally, I can't stand doing work at home for more than 2 hours and this might just motivate me to work harder and do more work!"
"I like this idea, because I always struggle to find motivation for something if I don't feel any personal benefit from it. This method will definitely help me to feel like I'm getting an advantage from my hard work."
"I love this technique as it allows you to think more logically about your goals. Also saying why you need to achieve your goals can increase motivation"

"The A Level Mindset has successfully integrated research and practice into an excellent user guide. It will be a valuable resource for students, teachers, parents and carers. The tools and techniques described are both workable and relevant."
"Steve Oakes and Martin Griffin have carefully drawn on research evidence and combined this with their extensive practical knowledge to create an informative guide for teachers, parents and students."
"Oakes and Griffin have produced a remarkable resource that offers a significant guide to enhancing teaching and learning at A level, but with implications beyond years 12 and 13.
