How Do You Choose The Right School?
Malcolm Gladwell has written a great deal about the 10,000 hour rule. He calculates that for someone to excel at something, whether it be sport, music or computer programming, they need to have had around 10,000 hours practising. In this time, a career can be shaped, a reputation made or a gold medal won.
It is extraordinary to think that 10,000 hours is roughly the same amount of time a UK school child spends in their Senior School between the ages of 11 and 18 (more for a boarder).
In that time, their whole life can be shaped. And it can never be repeated. We hope that you will take the time to consider such an important decision really carefully, and trust that you will visit Aldenham to find out whether we we are the right environment for your child to spend such a crucial amount time in their formative years.
