Growth Mindset

A growth mindset environment is an environment that encourages and equips children to become lifelong learners. It teaches children to take personal responsibility for their successes and to understand the impact that their own efforts, resilience and learning behaviours have upon this. It is a fundamental part of helping children become learners for life and to fulfil their learning potential. There is also research that suggests that because a growth mindset environment emphasises the importance of mindfulness, self-appreciation and self – esteem, children are happier. Here, at Ysgol Y Fenni we encourage children to have a growth mindset not a fixed mindset.
