Extra-ordinary.... “ The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word – extra . And for me, I had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me… and the more of these words I heard, the smaller I always felt! But the truth is often very different… and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra , when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and I really clung to it…” Bear Grylls Adventurer Survival Expert
David Brailsford Quote ” it’s important to understand the ‘ aggregation of marginal gains’. Put simply….how small improvements in a number of different aspects Eg. 1 mark more in separate 10 questions in an 80 mark of what we do can have a paper (30 questions) huge impact to the overall = 10 Marks total performance of individuals and teams.”

What would make you jump for joy August 2019?
Why do you want to get your best possible exam results?
Year 12 Words of Wisdom Take this year day by day and don't over stress yourselves. It will take a toll on you and you may start to feel like giving up. When exam season comes around, don't stay up late revising, be in bed by ten and then when you wake up, have a shower and feel refreshed and ready for the day. You can't perform well if you aren't taking care of yourselves. My top tip is don’t stress and try your best. If you know that you have done everything you could have done when you start that exam and when you get your results, you won’t have any regrets. That’s what pushed me to work my hardest throughout the year. I didn’t want to regret not preparing myself as well as I could if I was disappointed by my results. Now , I don’t have any regrets and am very proud of my GCSE results.

One of the biggest success stories of the Den to date, Levi Roots entering the Den in 2007 (series 4) has become a household name with his popular hot BBQ sauces that tell you to “put some music in your food”. Having serenaded the Dragons in his pitch with the song that he would later become widely famous for, Roots (real name Keith Graham) won investment from Jones and Farleigh on a “punt” and was told by Duncan Bannatyne that there was “no future for his business”. The sauce is a secret recipe from Levi's grandmother and must be hot stuff because even Peter Jones raised a sweat after trying it. Levi was in a lather too, and got mixed up between his litres and kilos: "I'm a singer, not a mathematician." In the end Levi warmed two of the Dragons' hearts though, because Peter Jones offered half the amount for 20% of equity, and Richard Farleigh chipped in with the remaining £25,000 for another 20%. So he left the Den with £50,000 and 60% of his business and gave the Dragons' a reprise of his song, disappearing to warm applause. Fast forward eight years and Roots has undoubtedly proved Bannatyne wrong. Reggae Reggae sauces are now stocked in all the major UK supermarkets and Roots has expanded his range to cover chilled ready meals, pasties and even Caribbean-flavoured soft drinks – taking his worth to an estimated £30m according to the Sunday Times Rich List . And it’s not just food, the British -Jamaican entrepreneur has put his name to a series of cookbooks, music albums, his own Caribbean-inspired food festival, had a BBC TV cooking show and plans to launch a chain of global restaurants. While Farleigh is no longer involved in the business – Jones bought out Farleigh for little more than he invested – Jones remains a shareholder and advocate for the brand; “it’s one of my most successful investments from the show ”. Levi Roots is continuing to sizzle with a net worth of 45million dollars.
