MGGS is M·E·G·A
Mindset, Enquiry, Extension & Enrichment, Google and Advanced Thinking
M - Mindset

Year 12 and 13 receive explicit teaching about each of the elements of VESPA during special year group sessions led by senior staff. This is supported by subject ALM sheets, as well as mentoring, form activities and assemblies.
Sixth Form students also receive training in employing ‘assessment as learning’ techniques to ensure they make the most of feedback and are empowered, through self-reflection, to enable their own progress.
E - Enquiry, Extension & Enrichment

Students studying 4 A Levels or another enrichment course in Year 13 are allowed to opt for supervised study in 6FX time, but many do not, choosing instead to participate in something extra. Students also have the opportunity to undertake additional qualifications, including the LIBF Certificate in Financial Studies and the highly-regarded Extended Project Qualification, in Year 13.
G - Google

We teach, collaborate and communicate via Google, and this is very evident in the Sixth Form, where, as an example, we share a daily bulletin with staff and students. External students often comment on how Google has transformed their learning. There are Google Classrooms and Drives for subjects, houses and many other groups in the Sixth Form, including the Aspire Early Entry group for Oxbridge applicants and Medics, Vets and Dentists.
A - Advanced Thinking

Students receive a full induction to the Thinking Tools when they join us, and will have an opportunity to develop their use of these invaluable tools in lessons and 6FX.
Advanced thinking is embedded in all we do, and there are opportunities to celebrate this through leading outreach days, participating in competitions and being involved in the MGGS Festival of Thinking.
