On Friday 1st May, Ella from Google came to speak to Year 9 and 10. The theme for her talk was ‘resilience and learning from your mistakes’. There was a real focus on Carol Dweck’s work on Growth Mindsets, alongside some real life anecdote’s demonstrating that we all have to develop these skills and qualities to achieve success.  Year 10 are soon to be sitting their PPE’s and Year 9 starting their GCSE courses, so the timing of the message was perfect and the students really engaged with Ella as she told her story and some tips on how to overcome the challenges that lie ahead.
