Nurturing a Growth Mindset
Miss Palethorpe delivered assemblies where she talked to students about having a ‘Growth Mindset’. A keen runner in her spare time, Miss Palethorpe used the example of Sir Roger Bannister, the first man to break the three-minute mile (a feat thought of as impossible at the time), as how the right frame of mind can lead you to achieve what you might consider unattainable. Being prepared to fail, learn from mistakes and improve yourself is an important attitude to take forward into life-long achievement and success.
