Recording your Tripos Experience

The pursuit of the Tripos award is designed to develop particular skills and characteristics, which follow on from the Royal High Learner Qualities embedded in the Senior School Curriculum. The evidence that you have met the Tripos criteria and Learner Qualities will be provided through reflections on each of your three elements.

For each element of the Tripos, you will be required to complete three reflections on Firefly; a Proposal, a Midpoint review and a Post Hoc Evaluation. In each of your reflections, we will expect to see evidence of how you have demonstrated some of the following six Learner Qualities of the Tripos. Not every Learner Quality will be relevant to every element of the Tripos, but you must show evidence of all of them all through the range of experiences you have undertaken. You should aim to reference each Learner Quality 2-3 times across your reflections.

Learner Qualities:

• Demonstrated braveness through undertaking a challenge and persevering

• Demonstrated reflection through adapting, developing and improving your Tripos experiences

• Demonstrated inquisitiveness through your ability to research, investigate and explore new topics, ideas and contexts

•Demonstrated collaboration through discussing and working with others

• Demonstrated kindness through listening, understanding others and empathising

• Demonstrated sparkiness through your ability to problem solve, innovate and collect new ideas

For examples of how to demonstrate each of the six Learner Qualities in your reflections refer to the examples on the Tripos Firefly pages. What is important is that throughout your Tripos experience you demonstrate and show how you have used and developed each of these Learner Qualities.
