00:00There's a lot less grumpy than there used to be, isn't there?
00:02Yeah, but we're watching the gate.
00:04Yeah, we're watching the gate.
00:06Hello guys!
00:08She's going, she's going, she's going.
00:10How you doing guys?
00:12Good, thank you.
00:14Cool, so we're at, what's your school called?
00:16Longlands Primary School.
00:18Longlands Primary in Market Drayton.
00:20And you've got your own goat?
00:22You've got a little farm, haven't you?
00:24What other animals have you got here?
00:26We've got chickens, guinea pigs and rabbits.
00:28Wow, and what's your favourite out of all those?
00:30The goats.
00:32What's this goat called then?
00:34This is Leo.
00:36There's a little one somewhere and she's called Sheila.
00:38He's very friendly, Leo, isn't he?
00:40He's had a little treat just as well.
00:42So he looks lovely, he's got a lovely little beard like that.
00:44Do you know my class?
00:46What's that mate?
00:48Fur class.
00:50Fur class, good name.
00:52So Miss, you're headteacher?
00:54I am.
00:56Lisa Millington.
00:58So Miss, we're here because we're doing a special little piece
01:00because you've done particularly well in your league tables.
01:02Just fill us in on how you've got on.
01:04In the end of year six test for last year,
01:06we have come eighth in Shropshire
01:08so we're really proud of the achievement of the children
01:10and the hard work of the adults.
01:12That's great, isn't it?
01:14Did I feel something pecking at my leg then?
01:16Was that a little chicken?
01:18Naughty little chicken.
01:20So what do you think about that, guys?
01:22You've done really well as a school, haven't you?
01:24Yeah.
01:26Well done, you should pat yourselves on the back.
01:28Can you do that?
01:30Can you pat yourselves on the back?
01:32I'll give you a pat on the back.
01:34So I take it part of that reason,
01:36because you're going above and beyond.
01:38You can tell that from the animals.
01:40So we've got lots of opportunities.
01:42The children,
01:44they've all been brilliant learners
01:46but they also get the opportunity
01:48they come out to our farm,
01:50they come out to our forest school,
01:52and all of those opportunities
01:54help the children to develop in lots of different ways
01:56which means that by the end of year six
01:58they're making excellent progress in their learning
02:00because they're doing really well
02:02and how they feel about themselves as well.
02:04Fantastic.
02:06So what sort of things do you think you guys might like to go on and do
02:08when you leave school and you're an old man like me?
02:10What about you, little man?
02:12What do you want to do when you're older?
02:14What job would you like, Andre?
02:16A fireman? A caretaker?
02:18A footballer?
02:20We'll go with that.
02:22And what about you, chicken?
02:24I would like to be a teacher when I grow up.
02:26Oh, there you go, miss. Look at that, inspiring the next generation.
02:28She would be brilliant as well.
02:30And what about you, little man?
02:32What do you like to do, do you think?
02:34When I grow up,
02:36I want to be Spider-Man.
02:38Spider-Man? Cool, I like that.
02:40And what about you, boss?
02:42I want to be a YouTuber.
02:44And what about you, young lady?
02:46I kind of want to be a teaching assistant.
02:48Look at that, miss. How cool is that?
02:50Nobody wants to be a goat handler.
02:52Mind you, you already are, aren't you?
02:54You've done that.
02:56That's old news by then.
02:58Well, awesome work to
03:00everyone involved.
03:02Miss, it's a nice little
03:04thing to get in before Christmas, isn't it?
