Seems like a good idea:

A top girls' school is planning a "failure week" to teach pupils to embrace risk, build resilience and learn from their mistakes.

Failure?? At Wimbledon High?? They'll just ask Daddy to send the chauffeur round to take them shopping to make them feel better.........

This is what the plebians amongst us call "life". When we fall down, we get up again, dust ourselves off, and try again....

The Dean

........ and how do they know the girls will 'fail'?

OleJanx

The coke spoons probably are a clue...

If they want to learn how to fail surely it would be easier to have them learn about French culture?

Come off it. It's a perfectly good middle class girls' school. High academic standards though not quite North London Collegiate. No coke spoons. It ain't Roedean or Bedales.
