Weekly pastoral theme: Successful mindsets

Should we be afraid of failure? This is one of the questions the children at Windlesham House have been asked to consider this week, as the whole school has embraced the idea that failing can often lead to success.

Too often we want the results immediately and forget that we often need to get things wrong, try a different method or simply spend more time practising to achieve the task in front of us. As ever, we continue to remind the children that failure teaches us about humility, resilience and perseverance. By overcoming our fear of failure, we can learn that it is often the first step towards something better.
