Go on Luke, go for it.
00:02
So, headteacher Mrs Matthews, what do you love most about Wilfrid Owen Primary School?
00:07
It's hard to say what I don't love about Wilfrid Owen Primary School because everything is amazing.
00:13
Although I've been here quite some time, I've been the head here since June of 23
00:17
and the staff and the children just give their all to our school
00:21
and it just has a lovely atmosphere, it's a lovely place to work.
00:26
Teachers are amazing, they give their all to our children all of the time,
00:30
their creativity in terms of their lessons and always trying to create exciting learning opportunities.
00:36
Our Year 1 children, earlier this week there was an alien spaceship that landed in the playground
00:41
and they're trying to find the aliens because apparently the aliens are pinching all the underwear in Shrewsbury.
00:46
They're desperately trying to find that.
00:48
They've been to space in Year 1 and they've been creating invitations in Year 3.
00:53
They're always looking for opportunities to make learning exciting here and the children really appreciate that.
00:58
Recently a really good Ofsted report as well from the school.
01:01
How proud are you of that and some of the comments that Ofsted have made since you became headteacher?
01:07
I don't think I could be more proud.
01:09
One of the big things for us has been a real focus.
01:12
One of improving our curriculum, learning is really important
01:15
but another part of that has been about making sure that our children feel safe and welcome in school
01:19
and that they feel that they are nurtured here and that the school not only offers opportunities for our children,
01:25
but our community and I feel that Ofsted report really identified that actually we're not just a school,
01:30
we are a community and our children really benefit from that.
01:34
So Ruby, what do you love most about Wilfrid Aire Primary School?
01:38
I like how it's like, I feel really safe here.
01:43
It feels like I can speak to any teachers, I can speak to other teachers, I can speak to Mrs Matthews, Miss O'Hara.
01:52
I can just speak to everyone, I've got lots of friends and it just feels really safe here.
01:57
Is there a particular subject that you like the most?
01:59
I really like all of them, but I really love science.
02:03
Okay, is there a particular reason why?
02:06
So our science teacher Miss Jones, she makes it really fun and there's like different experiments that goes on every lesson,
02:22
not every lesson, it's just she makes it really fun and it's very fun.
02:28
Are you going to miss Wilfrid Aire Primary School when you go to secondary school?
02:32
Yeah.
02:33
Yeah, thank you.
