Hillhead High school is a Growth Mindset promoting school. Put simply this means that we accept that failure is a part of learning and we believe that intelligence can develop and effort leads to success. We want all of our learners to develop their resilience. Those with a “fixed mindset” may struggle to overcome any setbacks on their learning journey which is why we are looking to develop a Growth Mindset for our students.
