UAS allows all students to engage with learning and have their achievements formally recognised. At Springfield AQA awards are interwoven into our offer to ensure that all achievement, no matter how small, is recognised.
Students are rewarded with a certificate each time they successfully complete a unit of learning. They can build up a portfolio of certificates to evidence their skills, knowledge and experience.
The scheme boosts confidence, increases engagement and improves motivation, helping students to make progress on their lifelong learning journey.
