S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Let's record it and see what the questions are.
0:03
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
The school has a different feel to the ambassador schools.
0:06
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It seems to be targeted to the top tier IAB community and leadership.
0:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
in the shape of Ruth.
0:12
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Right,
0:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
okay.
0:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
What real,
0:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
is it fair to say,
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
are the dynamics different in this new school
0:20
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
to the other Ambassador schools?
0:22
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Well, I think our core purpose is exactly the same and our core
0:26
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
values will remain the same.
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
What we're seeing in this school is the very best of what Ambassador have done in the past.
0:32
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We're continuing to grow and develop a brilliant curriculum that's available in all
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
our other schools.
0:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
with increased investment.
0:39
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So I think in terms of that premium field,
0:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
that curriculum,
0:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
NYPP,
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
YPDP,
0:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
very similar,
0:46
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
but building on the best of our location,
0:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
our,
0:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I suppose,
0:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
our access to space.
0:54
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And then the level of expertise that we've got in the leadership team and through
0:59
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
the recruitment will,
1:00
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
of course,
1:00
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
elevate the school within the city and the brand within the city.
1:04
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But all our schools will continue to grow in this way.
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Thank you.
1:08
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And there's nothing near you in this area.
1:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Well, exactly.
1:12
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's literally a gift to have this plot of land in Almacool,
1:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
so close to the metro,
1:16
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
such good parking,
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
beside the park,
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
so there's going to be no,
1:21
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
like, building,
1:21
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
unexpected building any time soon.
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So, yeah,
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I think as a mum who has grappled with,
1:27
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know,
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
many, many schools over the years,
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
both in leadership.
1:31
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
as well as where my children were going to school.
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's a headache,
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
isn't it?
1:34
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
The drop -off and the pick -up.
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
There's none of that here.
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's very,
1:37
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
very easy.
1:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And where were the closest?
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I was saying, DePaul,
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
where's the closest apartment blocks to?
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Probably Golden Sands.
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
They're very close.
1:46
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We're very close to City Walk.
1:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I mean, I'm in Oomsikim,
1:48
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
too. It took me 12 minutes this morning,
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
and the traffic was great.
1:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And I was out there at,
1:52
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know,
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
rush hour, allegedly.
1:54
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And now we know that traffic is a bit quieter in the city at the moment.
1:57
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But it's actually an easy place to get to from so...
2:00
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
many spots around the city.
2:02
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's minutes away from most places.
2:04
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's very central.
2:04
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Okay, Ruth.
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
John loves writing stories.
2:08
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And he's already written a bit about you.
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But I think we're going to do something different on Schools Compared about
2:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you. So we'll probably send you over some questions and whatever else.
2:19
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Or it depends on,
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know,
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
we'll get that sorted.
2:22
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Okay.
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I do think,
2:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know, my...
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
You know, over the years,
2:27
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you look at schools in different ways,
2:28
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
don't you?
2:29
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
When all three of my kids were in the school system,
2:32
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I've only got one left.
2:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Now my granddaughter will start next year in school in the UK.
2:35
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And as you kind of grow and develop,
2:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you see what schools actually really need.
2:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And you hear from my daughter,
2:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
what does she want in a school?
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
100%.
2:44
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Confidence,
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
fun,
2:46
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
happiness,
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
somewhere where she belongs,
2:48
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
somewhere that the family belongs and feels like.
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So, yeah,
2:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I think...
2:52
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
To that story with John,
2:53
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I think it would be quite nice to explore some of that.
2:55
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Well, I was going to ask you,
2:56
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
well, we touched on it initially,
2:58
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know, when we were walking around the school.
3:00
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Is this your last school?
3:01
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I asked you that question.
3:03
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Do you know what?
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
When I'm working with Mr Kamal,
3:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I think I'm going to be here for a long time because it's so easy.
3:09
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
The investment has been so generous.
3:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
The interest,
3:12
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
and, you know,
3:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
he's doing it for the right reasons.
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I agree.
3:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
You know, and I really feel that.
3:18
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Why would I leave?
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But I mean, anyone can say that.
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Many jobs, I do find their vibe,
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
the level of ambition and the level of support something quite extraordinary.
3:27
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
That's Ruth speaking very honestly.
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yes, yes.
3:30
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And you're leaving Swiss with how many kids now?
3:32
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
2 ,950.
3:34
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
2 ,950.
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And how many in Bordensville at the time?
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
130.
3:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's not amazing.
3:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And we picked that one up.
3:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
When I started there,
3:41
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I think we were 1 ,200 children.
3:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So that's been a great success story.
3:44
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And I have loved every second of it.
3:46
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So proud of what we've built there.
3:48
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Such a great school.
3:49
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Bilingualism,
3:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
sustainability,
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
great community.
3:54
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But time for someone else to take it on and continue to develop it.
3:58
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And I'm going to touch on something else,
4:00
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
like Ian.
4:01
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Ah,
4:02
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
yes.
4:03
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Ian recruited me,
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
of course.
4:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I know he did.
4:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Well, listen,
4:06
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
there's a story between Jonathan,
4:07
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
myself,
4:09
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Ian.
4:10
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And now you.
4:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So it is like it is.
4:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We're all connected,
4:14
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
are we not?
4:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Always connected.
4:16
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But Ian and Jonathan have met each other in England,
4:19
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
where they lived in England.
4:21
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So they've got a good rapport.
4:23
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I'm still in contact with,
4:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
obviously, Ian.
4:25
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And, yeah,
4:26
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
this is just,
4:27
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know, I think what he's done now is I get where he's coming from because he did reach
4:31
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
out to me previously.
4:32
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And we're definitely delighted for him.
4:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Of course, as am I.
4:37
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And I continue to keep in touch with him.
4:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And he's a good mentor.
4:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
He is.
4:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
He knows plenty of information,
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know.
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
He is indeed.
4:44
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Now,
4:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
OK, where are we on the status of the IB and able to talk about it?
4:49
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So we have submitted all our paperwork.
4:52
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We're just waiting for approval.
4:53
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So I think we'll ask Dan because he was in charge of that.
4:56
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We haven't got approval yet to say we're an IB school.
5:01
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
They're very strict about this at the moment.
5:03
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
In fact,
5:03
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
we had used it and one of the schools had reported us,
5:07
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
so we have to be really careful because we're now on the radar for having used it.
5:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
No, but again,
5:12
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
again,
5:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
it's all schools.
5:14
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
All of them are getting it,
5:16
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know, and you're not the only one.
5:18
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's the IB.
5:19
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
IB are watching,
5:20
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know,
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
and that's why we're asking.
5:22
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
There's a lot happening in the city.
5:23
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
They have to...
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I know,
5:26
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
but the thing about it is...
5:27
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
You know, use our IB,
5:29
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know, I wouldn't mind if it was a one -off IB school.
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I know, we have done it,
5:32
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
we know what we're doing.
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Absolutely, absolutely.
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Okay,
5:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
do you have any secrets that you can tell us about your
5:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
school?
5:41
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Exclusive to schools,
5:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
comparatively.
5:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Oh,
5:44
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
gosh.
5:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Can I get back to you on that one?
5:46
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I'll find you a secret.
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Right, okay.
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I mean,
5:49
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
the secret is,
5:49
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
look at us,
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
look at us in the heart of the city.
5:52
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
What we're going to offer,
5:53
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
the fact that these kiddos are going to be doing PE on the daily,
5:57
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
that activity is built into the school and kids' DNA,
6:01
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
is that not the perfect match?
6:02
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
What we know as mums is,
6:04
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
get the kids moving,
6:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
they're much happier,
6:06
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
they're much more engaged.
6:07
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And we will do that in every lesson throughout the day.
6:12
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Are you thinking of a commercial secret secret?
6:14
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
No, I'm just thinking of anything.
6:16
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Are you giving jelly babies out at the beginning of every class or at
6:20
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
the end of the day?
6:21
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I think the scholarship thing will be interesting too because
6:25
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
we're teaming up with a tennis guy who's going to also offer scholarships for the tennis academy.
6:29
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I think the synergy coming between us and the ASA provider.
6:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
possibly elite,
6:34
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
will also add to the feel of community and wraparound
6:39
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
care of the people.
6:39
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And what was it?
6:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I was busy taking photographs,
6:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
but I'm sure Vicky has got the information on the swimming pool.
6:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Maybe Sheena's got on the Fridays.
6:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
What's up?
6:48
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
You're bringing them.
6:49
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
The community.
6:49
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Oh, yes,
6:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
yeah. As part of the signature experience for the early childhood centre,
6:53
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
parents will have the opportunity to swim with their children.
6:56
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Now, it won't be mandatory,
6:57
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
of course, because for lots of us,
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
that wouldn't work at all.
6:59
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But for those who want that,
7:01
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
and then we'll also do it as a weekend activity where mums and dads can
7:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
come and swim with their kiddos in the pool.
7:06
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So just to kind of elevate the...
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
get the kids moving earlier.
7:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yes.
7:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Get them on those bikes,
7:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
get those muscles moving,
7:14
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
not just little,
7:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know,
7:16
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
finicky little...
7:17
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
spaces but expansive spaces. Ruth what's your sport?
7:22
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Well, I'm a massive football mum.
7:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yes.

I've been that delighted the weekend.
7:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Oh, my gosh.
7:34
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's a great excitement.
7:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So,
7:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
football is...
7:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I've been the football mum for years.
7:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Now,
7:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I'm a Pilates fan.
7:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I am a complete convert.
7:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I'm loving it.
7:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
As in Pilates or that new one on the...
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Reformer Pilates.
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yeah.
7:48
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
there's a placed helm on the turmeric road is on the corner of my street i
7:53
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
can walk to it most evenings i'm there maybe you need to take over
7:57
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
a class for the parents without there exactly i mean we're going to do the arabic so when
8:01
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
pilates through arabic maybe yeah well that's a
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
secret pilates yeah yes that's what we're looking for and then there's another
8:09
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
one here now let me see is that still recording it is and can you speak
8:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
okay any other messages you would like to get across
8:18
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I feel like we did a good job in showing that it's a community school with
8:22
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
learning at the heart.
8:23
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And when we're talking about learning,
8:25
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
we're not talking about entertainment.
8:26
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We're talking about knowing kids and working with children so they make their maximum
8:30
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
progress in an environment that they're enjoying.
8:32
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And that for me is the key piece.
8:34
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
If they're not running into those classrooms in the morning and out again in the afternoons,
8:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
we're not doing our jobs properly.
8:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Kiddos have got to be joyful in their learning.
8:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Gosh, I really feel so strongly about it.
8:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And whether that's on bikes and trikes or grappling with tables or designing
8:49
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
a, you know,
8:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
whatever.
8:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's joyful.
8:52
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
It's well supported in nice surroundings,
8:55
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
yeah.
8:55
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Like Ruth,
8:56
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I go into schools,
8:57
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
right, in many,
8:58
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
many, many schools.
8:59
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And everybody talks about,
9:00
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know,
9:01
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
their libraries and how important it is.
9:03
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And I was impressed by your early years and what you had to talk about.
9:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And, you know,
9:07
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
it's a long time since I was in primary school,
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know.
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But I do hear,
9:10
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know, different reading.
9:12
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But the extended reading program,
9:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I loved it.
9:14
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Honest to God,
9:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
it is what it says.
9:17
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But what was the one that...
9:18
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And we talked about Catherine McKeever earlier on.
9:20
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Did you remember she set up some sort of reading program?
9:23
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
She was hot on reading.
9:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
She was interested in the science of reading.
9:28
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And she ran some very good programs.
9:31
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And really that accelerated reader approach that we're using is very much based on that.
9:35
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
What is your child's real reading age?
9:37
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
What is their zone of proximal development?
9:39
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So what books will actually make them progress?
9:41
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Because a lot of us are just reading within our own kind of level.
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We're not actually getting better at reading.
9:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
so that's the science of reading but catherine was the pioneer of that absolutely absolutely
9:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
and uh what was it and what
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
is it what is the um screen time 45 45 minutes
9:59
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
max and that's about that's early years or is that that's the school yeah
10:04
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
That's about children not being just given the iPad because you can do
10:08
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
it on an iPad.
10:08
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
If it's something you can do with a pencil and paper,
10:12
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
why use the iPad?
10:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yeah, because you look,
10:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
you know, like our necklace when he left death to go to Methoday.
10:18
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Like,
10:19
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
not every kid in the UK has access to a laptop.
10:22
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Exactly.
10:23
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
You know, and him writing,
10:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
like, it's minuscule.
10:26
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Like, you know,
10:27
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
it was...
10:28
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
And we kind of thought, oh,
10:28
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
in a way that was a disadvantage.
10:30
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But now we've learned through the research that actually...
10:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
The kiddos who held onto the paper and pencil actually in the long run might have done better.
10:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
So we need to address the imbalance now in our school.
10:39
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
If it's not transforming the learning.
10:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
put the ipad away because actually it's messing with their heads yeah so
10:46
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
if it's transforming the learning it has a place and there are some apps and there are some programs that
10:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
are really good for learning yeah but a lot of it like times tables rock stars
10:55
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
practicing your spelling on the ipad just pick up the pencil yeah no
10:59
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
i i get you but it was something nicholas he was a bright kid
11:03
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
i'm not gonna i'm not gonna say
11:05
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
But one thing that they did pick up that they didn't pick up here,
11:08
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
and I think it is down to the laptop.
11:10
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yeah.
11:11
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
They classed him as slow,
11:13
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
oh God,
11:14
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
slow processing.
11:15
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yeah.
11:16
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Never knew there was such a thing,
11:17
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
but he got an extra 25 minutes for it.
11:19
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I need to get my know of that because he's definitely got that.
11:22
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Honestly, if you give him time,
11:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
he'll do it.
11:24
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Don't put him under pressure.
11:26
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
I know. Honestly,
11:27
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
look into that.
11:28
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Did somebody find that out as methody for you?
11:29
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yes.
11:30
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Honestly,
11:33
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
look into it.
11:34
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Well, Katrina went to the first term.
11:35
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
One of her lecturers said,
11:36
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
have you ever been diagnosed?
11:38
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Have you ever been tested for dyslexia?
11:40
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
She came from D .C.
11:42
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
She was Dessa originally.
11:43
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Slow process.
11:46
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Didn't even know there was such a thing.
11:47
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
We all had to Google it.
11:48
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
Yeah, it's mad,
11:50
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
isn't it? Okay,
11:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
that's it.
11:51
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
No more secrets.
11:52
S… Speaker 1 (Ruth & Eimear interview)
