Growth Mindsets in our Sessions
A key aspect of our sessions is the focus on positive approaches towards learning.

Session 2, 'Mindsets' helps students understand how to adopt growth mindsets towards their education and their wider lives. Enabling them to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and understand that their capabilities can always be grown and pushed with hard work and perseverance.
Celebrating Our Funders and Supporters: Making Happen 
Make Happen are a national collaborative outreach programme whose support of Essex students and commitment to inspiring young people helps many disadvantaged pupils raise their aspirations and start thinking about higher education and beyond.

Their support has enabled us to deliver programmes at Ockendon Academy, Woodlands School, Hassenbrook Academy and Ortu Gable Hall School this year.
