So we're here at Greenacres Primary School in Shrewsbury who've got a lot to
00:05
celebrate at the moment with headteacher Mrs. Kiniston. Thanks for having us this
00:09
afternoon today. First of all we ask this question all the time to each school.
00:14
What do you love most about Greenacres? I think it's the family feel, the
00:19
community. We're recently celebrating our good Ofsted. It's just it's the whole
00:24
community, it's the children, the staff, it's that team approach. It's a real
00:28
community. Yeah it's quite a small school you said. It is a small school, we've got
00:34
we've got mixed year group classes and I feel that we know our children really
00:39
well and we sort of tailor our curriculum towards their needs. We have a lot of
00:44
children with SEND that need SEND provision that we actually direct and
00:48
we sort of diversify our needs, our curriculum towards them. Yeah talking of
00:53
the Ofsted, great news, just come out this week, good across the board, you must be
00:57
delighted with that. Absolutely thrilled. I think that just sort of demonstrates the
01:01
hard work that's gone in. I've been in post since September and but also the team
01:06
around the school, the Trust, the Carla, Wean and our CEO and all the other
01:12
headteachers in the Trust have been part of that sort of team around me about
01:15
that development for our school and supporting us to make our way forward. I
01:19
think the whole dedication of the staff team, children, families all together, that
01:25
real community has driven that progress and that that improvement within our
01:29
school. Yeah how proud are you really of that very quick improvement you've been able to make?
01:35
Really proud I think it just it demonstrates how strong you can be as a
01:39
team and how strong that that approach can be. I think the way the staff work
01:45
together and they they prioritise the needs of the children and have the
01:49
children's best interests at heart has has really made me feel welcome at the
01:56
school and also made me sort of help that drive forward. I've got those people
02:00
around that actually are really here for the children, they really want the
02:03
children to do well, they really want what's best for those children and also
02:07
they actually they work really hard.
02:11
So then guys what a wonderful school you've got here in Shrewsbury and tell me
02:17
one by one what you love the most about your school do you think? We'll start with you
02:20
first Ivy. I love how welcoming the teachers are and how really nice they are
02:24
and like I like when loads of students are really nice. What about yourself?
02:31

02:44
I like how Mrs Taylor always greets me and says good morning and how I always see my friends.
02:54
Oh that's wonderful. Ivy you're one of the special members of the community here at the school because you've been involved
03:02
with several things and your attendance has improved as well, tell us about that.
03:07

03:14
but the reason it's getting really high because how improved I have been like I've
03:19
