Couldn’t love this more! I read Mindset by Carol Dweck a couple of years ago, primarily to help my daughter, but I personally took so much away from it. Great to know your school is modelling it. I haven’t heard or read the words ‘growth mindset’ in any communication from her school. A big focus is the Rights of the Child.
In order to be able to objectively define what success is, inherently you must experience failures. In martial arts, there is a saying "a master has fallen 10 times and got back up 11". Failures is part of figuring out what really works, and more so what works, for you.
In schools now we model a growth mindset which basically does turn so called failure into feedback

It may not be expressed that way but hopefully all curriculum teach practice makes progress. My kids are better at it than me I would say.
Perhaps. The school has gone through a lot of change. Two headteachers in 8 months since their permanent one left. Otherwise they’re generally great.

Thanks for sharing, Fabien! I’ve seen that quote in a few different forms. It reminds me of the Nelson Mandela saying about rising every time we fall.
