Dear all, The year has got off to a flying start and it has been wonderful to see our pupils settle back into the ebb and flow of school life so quickly. My first assembly of the year was all about 'Grit', a quality which will be a theme of my assemblies throughout this academic year. I am a strong believer that good old-fashioned grit, a combination of passion and perseverance, is a key personality trait for success and during my assembly, I gave examples of a range of famous individuals who have gained success through being gritty and determined. In my Lower School assembly, I read the pupils the story of Izzy Gizmo, a girl who often failed but persevered and was then successful, and in the seniors, I showed them an extract from a TED talk on Grit: the power of passion and perseverance, which you can view by clicking on this link .
