In support of our new expectations as well as our drive to develop a Growth Mind-set amongst our pupils, we have renamed our school houses after ‘Famous Failures’ from both the past and present.

We are finding out how failure and learning from mistakes is essential to learning because “if you haven’t failed then you haven’t tried anything new” (Albert Einstein)

Our new houses are named after famous people who failed, were told they weren’t any good but continued to push themselves to become the best they can be!

The new house names are below:
