00:00 Right, so Kieran, just start by asking how you feel about the overall judgement of Good?
00:04 We're happy with it. It reflects the hard work that goes on in school and it reflects
00:09 all the effort that the staff, the children and the families keep putting into Seaburn
00:15 Dean, making our school the school it is.
00:20 And what pleased you most about the report?
00:21 I think the way he talked about the inclusivity and the way children and staff care for one
00:27 another, I think that was quite important that we have a school where that is really
00:32 obvious to inspectors who come from outside, that it's a caring, nurturing environment.
00:38 What was the reaction of the staff when you told them?
00:40 Staff were really happy, relieved and I think when they realised the support we received
00:48 from parents as well, which was really important, that reflected in the way they felt at the
00:54 end of it all. I think happy but relieved.
00:58 Okay then Miles, how does it feel to come to a good school then?
01:02 Good and I'm proud to have come here.
01:06 Alice, what's the best thing about coming to this school for you?
01:08 I think the best thing is the lessons because the teachers try and make it as fun as possible.
01:16 And Tilly, how do you feel about coming to a good school?
01:19 Well it's really nice because everyone's being kind to each other and everyone's got friends
01:26 and they're not alone. And if someone doesn't have friends then it means that they can go
01:33 and sit on a bench and then someone will see them and then that's called the buddy bench
01:38 and then they can go and get help.
01:40 So it's a very caring school, yeah?
01:42 Okay, and Arthur, how do you feel about coming to a good school?
01:45 Well I feel proud.
01:48 Pleased as well, happy?
01:50 Yeah.
01:51 And what's the best thing about this school for you?
01:53 Well, to me, the best thing about school is chatting to my friends and playing with them.
02:00 Is everyone really friendly?
02:01 Yeah.
