A message from the Head of School…

I can’t believe it is the end of week 2 already! It has been a pleasure to observe all the children across school displaying our key values of TRUST, KINDNESS AND SELFBELIEF. This year we are developing our values further and introducing Growth Mindset across school.

We want our children to understand that it is okay to be overwhelmed with their learning, and that some of their best learning is done when they find things the hardest. Rather than simply praising success we praise effort and persistence.

We believe the best thing to do is to teach the children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning. Our children are learning to recognise that effort, persistence and good teaching are what help them to improve.

Every class has been looking at and learning about the two types of mindsets that children and adults can have. A fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

Fixed Mindset

I like my work to be easy
I don’t like to try a challenge
I don’t like to try new things because I won’t be very good

Growth Mindset

I never give up
I like my work to be difficult – it means I am learning
I learn from my mistakes

It has been proven that having a growth mindset can improve children’s progress and attainment. We are teaching our children that by having a Growth Mindset they can grow their brains and intelligence and achieve anything they want! Please talk to your children about Growth Mindset and develop it at home. It’s a joy to watch the children display these qualities in class.

– Miss Woodward
