Emotional Intelligence

I am never prouder of Loughborough Grammar School boys than at our annual Open Day in the Autumn. Last Saturday, we were blessed with a glorious sunny morning with the Quad looking resplendent against a deep blue sky. But however impressed visitors are with our buildings, whether traditional like the Quad or state-of-the-art like our Science facilities, they leave LGS focusing on how impressive they found the young men whom they met. I wrote a blog on the importance of alternative forms of intelligence last May, and it is the emotional intelligence of our boys that stands out on such an occasion above even their academic achievements.
