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.

DO YOU HAVE A MINI ENTREPRENEUR AND LOOKING TO GIVE THEM A FOCUS OVER THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS?

My name is Sharna-Mae and I’m the Fundraising Officer at Age UK Lincoln & South Lincolnshire.

We're looking for 65 fundraisers to raise £100 each for us during our Sapphire 65th year. You choose your fundraiser from baking, a lemonade stand, arts & crafts, an exercise challenge, anything!! We need your help and we love a bonkers idea!! 😝

One of the best ways we can support families and our young people during the summer break is by signposting you to organisations who offer the best support. Please see below for wellbeing resources from the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP) that might be useful as a reference guide 

After months of training and practise, on 2 June, Grace travelled to Norwich and took her first test for 2^nd degree Black Belt in Kuk Sool Won and was successful. This was a test of her physical and mental endurance, under the constant assessment of 5^th and 6^th degree Masters and lasted for 3 hours. It covered the full syllabus of forms, techniques and weapons and included advanced kicking. This test now starts her two-year journey where she will learn advanced techniques and forms (including weapons) before she can take her final test and be promoted.

On 3 June, Grace competed at the European Kuk Sool Won Championship and also took part in the Masters Demonstration in Norwich. Grace competed at the rank of 1^st Degree Black belt (Joh Kyo Nym) in the under 12 female division, across the categories of Sword, Staff, Form, Techniques and Sparring. Against strong competition, Grace was successful in winning gold in sparring, silver in Form and Staff form, bronze in Sword form and copper in techniques. Grace later went on to join the Masters Demonstration team, where, in front of a large number of spectators, she performed advanced techniques, and then closed the ceremony by joining the ‘Nak Bup’ (Break Fall) Team for a thrilling acrobatics display.

Well Done Grace!
