00:00So it's love your school time. We're here at the wonderful Western Lullingfields School.

00:05I've said that right, haven't I, Miss? Yes, you have. Yes, you have.

00:07So you're the boss here. Yes. What's your name, Madam?

00:09My name is Kate Scott. I'm a head teacher here at Western Lullingfields Primary School.

00:14So how long have you been here then, Miss?

00:16So I've been here about four years now and I was here as a teacher here

00:21and I've been a head teacher here for a year and, no, coming up two years.

00:28So we've done a few pictures with the Shropshire Star here with you.

00:32One memorable one for me was a student arriving in his dad's tank, which was crazy.

00:38A few years ago, that's right, yes.

00:40And then what was the recent inspection, Siam's inspection?

00:43So, yeah, recently we had our church inspection in June

00:46where the Church of England inspector comes in to have a look at our school ethos,

00:53our school vision, and to see how we are living out our Christian values.

00:58And we're exceptionally proud of how well the children spoke about all the things that they've been learning

01:04and how supportive our parents are in our whole school community.

01:10So tell us a little bit about your school then and some of the things we're going to see.

01:14I understand we're going to see some pumpkins that are growing and some interesting artwork.

01:17Yes, we've been donated a couple of huge pumpkins from one of our parents.

01:23The children have been amazed by them.

01:26They've been inspiring some amazing work.

01:29But here at Western Lanningfields, we are a very small rural primary school.

01:34We benefit from being out here in this beautiful Shropshire countryside,

01:39North Shropshire countryside.

01:40We've got a beautiful school field, a forest school area.

01:44It's incredibly quiet here.

01:46So the children thrive in our beautiful surroundings.

01:50We are a mainstream school, but we offer something different here.

01:55Some of our pupils are here on a flexi-school arrangement,

02:00which means we are a halfway house between homeschooling and full-time schooling.

02:06So some of our children spend some time at home with their parents doing homeschool activities

02:11and sometimes they're here with us in school.

02:13Wow, that's kind of a new way of working, really.

02:16In Western Lanningfields, we've been doing it here for a very long time.

02:20So it's a very well-established policy here.

02:23And if they opt for that way of working,

02:26is it kind of like a minimum amount of days they need to be in school for?

02:30We recommend that it's three days in school and two days at home.

02:34And we're very flexible on our approach.

02:37And lots of our families begin here on a flexi-school arrangement

02:41and then they become full-time.

02:44But some of our children maintain a flexi-school arrangement

02:46all the way through being with us here right through until year six.

02:51So it depends on the family and it depends on the personal circumstances.

02:54Yeah.

02:55And what's this interesting art project where they've been using recycled materials?

02:59Yes, one of our art projects in Key Stage 2 has been looking at recycled art.

03:06So the children have been collecting all sorts of materials to create some artwork.

03:11And we've got a visiting artist coming in in a couple of weeks

03:15who makes beautiful sculptures out of old pianos.

03:19Oh, wow.

03:20So we're really excited to welcome her into school.

03:22Yeah, yeah.

03:23I wouldn't mind coming in and seeing that.

03:25Wouldn't it be interesting, that?

03:26Yeah.

03:27Well, thank you, miss.

03:27We'll take a little peep round your wonderful school.

03:49I might come to you first, boss.

03:50Tell me something nice that you like about your school.

03:53I really like how we try to do creative, creative, create just advocacy.

04:01Yeah.

04:01And like we have lots of worships in it and it's really fun learning about it.

04:06And we do lots of things to try and have the alignment.

04:09And we learn about how things about how like the rivers are dirty.

04:13That's what we're learning about at the moment in the water.

04:15All right.

04:16And we've learned about things like litter being in lots of places and pollution and lots of things like that.

04:21So it's learning about what you can do to make a difference, make things better.

04:26Good.

04:26Very good.

04:26And what about you?

04:29I really like the area that we're in.

04:39And we were like seeing the different things and different like land use there is.

04:48And then let's come around for you guys.

04:51I was going to say about the art because I love art because of how creative you can be.
