Jessica Ennis once said “I believe we all have a journey. I was once a small girl from Sheffield, dealing with bullies and normal teenage insecurities, but I always believed and when you do that, life can get unbelievable.” In Ennis House, we believe. By working together and putting trust and belief into our staff, families, friends and selves, Ennis house aspires to have the strength, motivation and commitment to achieve our full potential collectively and as individuals. We seek to have the courage to push ourselves further and the honesty to question things that are holding us back. We don’t settle for just enough, we strive for excellence to advance.
