‘Growth Mindset’ is a phrase used a lot in schools these days. To have a growth mindset means you believe that if you keep trying you WILL succeed. Here at Lawford Mead we all strive to have a growth mindset. It’s why aspiration and resilience are two of our values. Here’s what some pupils say having a growth mindset means to them…
“It means not giving up.”
“It means you are confident you can do it.”
“It means persevering.”
“It means you keep trying until you get it right.”
Our reflection time in assembly today, written and read by Y6 pupils, touched on themes of aspiration, resilience and having a growth mindset. Here it is…thank you Year 6…

Life isn’t always easy, keep trying.
Everyone is capable of doing anything.
If you keep believing you will keep achieving.

Our class motto is: ‘If plan A doesn’t work, there’s a good job there are 25 other letters in the alphabet!’
I last showed resilience yesterday when i was coding a game. I tried to change a sprite,but whenever i did it,it glitched. Even though it took a long time,i managed to fix all the bugs and take care of the glitch! (the problem that made the glitch was i accidentally pressed ‘Paste’ without knowing).
I last showed resilience on Tuesday in football club
