Staff are invited to nominate students who have demonstrated a Growth Mindset in the past few weeks. This might have been in lessons, in clubs, in tutor time or simply around school. Please note we already award bi-annual subject badges and merits for good academic work, effort and improvement. These Growth Mindset nominations recognise those who show resilience (academic or otherwise); who aren’t afraid to get things wrong and learn from it; those who have a go, take themselves out of their comfort zone or show that even if a task is tough they will persevere.
Well done to the sisters Lucy and Charlie who competed at the Head of the Don. Lucy won the WJ18 single race and Charlie won in the WJ17 coxless quad.
On the 11 November 2022 we had a visit from an outside speaker Mrs Rachel Enstone in our Year 10 Geography lesson. She discussed what it was like living in Tokyo, a megacity located 480km away from the Tohoku region in Japan - but what is the Tohoku region, and why is it relevant?

Well done to Rachel in Year 10 who competed at the British Trampolining and Tumbling Championships in Birmingham Utilita Arena. Rachel put in three great routines, finishing in second place with a Silver medal.
On the 12 August, I competed in the England Golf National Women’s Medal Final at Woodhall Spa Golf Club on the Hotchkin course. I had qualified for this from a regional event in early June at Stanton on the Wolds which I won.
In the evening of the 11 August, a gala dinner was held at the club to celebrate women’s golf week. It was here that I was presented with the trophy for winning my qualifying event. All of the participants in the final were given a free night in the Petwood Hotel with breakfast on the morning of the event and lunch following their round of golf.
The Hotchkin course is known to be one of the most difficult in the country. I had not played the course before and so was feeling a little apprehensive, especially as it is well known for having 143 bunkers. However, I soon relaxed and enjoyed the challenge of playing a new course. I played 7 under my handicap which was good enough to win the final.
