Growth Mindset

We want to create a ‘risk-free’ learning environment 

• where students are willing to

          * Learn

          * Risk making mistakes

          * Push themselves

          * Take on challenge

•  where teachers communicate confidence in all students’ ability to rise to the learning challenge
• where students are able to effectively self-assess their own learning and effort.

How can we enact a growth mindset culture in our school? 

• Ensure all stakeholders – staff, students, governors and parents – have the approach clearly explained
• Change the language of feedback
• Use growth mindset praise
• Use formative comments only for assessments
• Encourage children to feel confident to make mistakes
