Believe - Achieve - Succeed

A ‘can do’ Mindset

At UBHS, we value hard work and resilience as the foundations of success. In school and in life, challenges are inevitable. Sometimes we navigate them with ease; other times they test us deeply. What matters is that we keep moving forward because through perseverance, we grow and ultimately succeed.

 

I am delighted to share a powerful example of this in action from one of our own, Mr Wayne Linney. Over nine months, he committed to training six days a week in preparation for the CrossFit Open 2026. Along the way, he overcame mental barriers, particularly around age and fitness, by adopting a determined, “can-do” attitude.

 

Mr Linney credits his work with learners at UBHS as a key influence in strengthening this mindset. Every day, our learners show resilience as they face their own challenges, reminding us all of the importance of perseverance and belief.

 

His journey demonstrates that resilience is not just about facing difficulty, but learning from it and continuing forward with purpose.

 

We are incredibly proud of Mr Linney’s achievement. He truly embodies the values we promote at UBHS. Well done, Mr Linney - you are an inspiration to us all.

 

Monday 13 April - I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the first day back after Easter is a 9.30am start for ALL learners. Have a lovely Easter break.
