00:00 Hi, my name's Jo Livingstone, I'm the Executive Headteacher for Springwood Infant and Junior School Federation.
00:06 And tell me why we're at the school today.
00:07 We're at the school today because we're celebrating our infant offset inspection, which we got a good for back in October earlier this year.
00:15 Fabulous, and how do you feel about that?
00:17 I'm absolutely elated, I'm over the moon with my report. I think it just absolutely summarises the school, our values, and how much staff very much love the children here.
00:27 And was there anything in particular that came back out from the Ofsted that put Springwood on the map?
00:34 Just basically about how loved, how much the staff care, and I think there's a lovely quote in the Ofsted report about how staff go above and beyond at Springwood.
00:44 Tell me also, last year I understand about the junior school.
00:48 We were Ofsteded in July 2022 for the junior school as well, so I feel like we've got two cracking reports under our belt in the last year.
00:57 What have you been doing to celebrate this news?
01:01 Well, we've had donuts in from the Governor's, which was very exciting for all the staff.
01:06 We've sent it out to all our parents, we've had lovely comments on the gate from our parents, and I think everybody's really pleased because Springwood is a really special place.
01:15 So tell me what's coming up for Springwood?
01:17 Obviously all the Christmas festivities, we've been working with one of the old people's homes locally.
01:23 We've also, my early years team are out in the nurseries, meeting all the children that are possibly coming to us in September, so that's really exciting.
01:31 Hosting workshops, teaching how to do phonics, so yeah, lots of, we're always very, very busy.
01:36 And we've got our PTA event, which we're going to let the parents know about, it's our Christmas jingle-jangle as well in December.
01:42 We're also launching a community hub in the new year where we're inviting our parents to come in if we need any support, any help, any things we can do with our children as well, to just open our doors even more so that we can support our families.
