We firmly believe that for the children to have the best start in life, they must have firm foundations beneath them. These foundations are built upon a resilient and positive mental attitude. This attitude comes from having a growth mindset-the opposite of a fixed mindset!
Having a growth mindset is about a strong belief that your life, and your level of ambition and success, is not set from birth. It is not something set in stone. It is not something you cannot do anything about!
Over the next few weeks, teachers will be sharing growth mindset ideas and language with the children. They will be challenging the children’s negative and defeatist language!
To be able to overcome challenges and set their aspirations high! They can do it!

‘Having a growth mindset really helps because when you are working you think you can do it’ and ‘It makes you believe in yourself when you have a difficult piece of work’
