Memorable Quote "Because everything had come so easy up until that, in all of my subjects, when things started to get hard, then I started to say, well, I'm not interested in that, and I don't want to do that anymore. That permeated everything and yeah, I found it very difficult because all of my peers had learned how to persist with things at a younger age because things had been tricky for them. So they had to try work these things out. Whereas I hadn't had to do that." – Heather Cox Resources The G Word Gifted Talented Neurodiverse Awareness Week James & Susie The Power of Different by Gail Saltz BIO Heather Cox Heather Cox is a data analytics student (self-confessed data nerd), Rubik's cube addict, resident volunteer historian of our heritage listed school, with passions and experience in motorsport, IT, furniture design, all kinds of history, critical thinking, programming and recently, microcontrollers.
