There is an old adage that says, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” This captures the essence of perseverance. When things get hard, as they often can, it is persistence and determination that ultimately bring success. As Headteacher at Elvington, I firmly believe that every child can achieve anything they set their mind to, provided they are prepared to keep trying. Numerous studies have shown that perseverance is a key ingredient for success in life and, in many cases, it outweighs natural aptitude or raw talent.
Persevering entails effort and practice. This half term, we will be talking to the children about persevering and believing in themselves. We will remind them just how important a growth mindset is and celebrate their determination and willingness to always be their best. This focus is highlighted by the display in the hall, which includes contributions from Class Three.
‘And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.’
Hebrews 12:1-2
