Transcript
00:00OK, if I just start by asking how you feel about the good judgement then?
00:04Well obviously we're thrilled with the judgement, really pleased and it's just a testament to the hard work of the entire school community.
00:11What pleased you most about the report?
00:14There's lots of fantastic comments that came through in the report regarding safeguarding, regarding behaviour and attitudes, regarding the curriculum.
00:21But what really was very pleasing for us is the fact that in our mission statement we talk about in Christ's kindness we learn, we pray, we belong.
00:31And this was seen to be prevailing throughout the whole school, so it was really lovely to see that the kindness, one of the key things we try to instil in our children, was really recognised.
00:46So really pleased about that.
00:49What was the reaction of staff when they found out the judgement?
00:52I think everyone's really pleased and on the subject of that I'd just like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff for their hard work and their dedication.
01:02I'd like to say thank you to all the stakeholders, parents, governors and the Bishop Wilkinson Trust for their support throughout the process.
01:10But the biggest thank you obviously goes to the children for their fantastic hard work. They're just an absolute credit and they're the heart of our school community.

01:41They asked what's it like to be a girl in this school and it's really fair because there's a girls football team and a boys football team.
