Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Do we have confirmation on A -levels in politics
0:13
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and sociology and are they coming on
0:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
stream?
0:18
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah,
0:18
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
absolutely.
0:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So planning is in place in terms of staffing and timetabling.
0:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Next year,
0:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
in terms of the Year 12 cohort,
0:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we're looking at around about 110 students joining us in September.
0:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And even though the introduction of new subjects,
0:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
they already have attracted a lot of interest in terms of our existing
0:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
students, but also the students who are applying from outside.
0:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So,
0:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
yeah, from September,
0:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we are enhancing the curriculum provision to include both sociology
0:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and politics.
0:45
S…
Speaker 5 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
OK,
0:46
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and that's when they start,
0:47
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
right? OK, so that's it.
0:51
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Can you explain what is happening here?
0:53
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Okay. What is the status of the Westfield car project as we can see
0:57
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
outside there?
0:58
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Are there plans for a follow -up in automotive engineering?
1:03
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
If so,
1:04
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
which vehicles or alternative projects is being discussed?
1:08
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Has been agreed.
1:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Just grab it.
1:10
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah, hi,
1:11
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Gabby.
1:12
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Hello.
1:13
S…
Speaker 4 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Oh,
1:15
S…
Speaker 4 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
sorry.
1:19
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Perfect.
1:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Thank you so much.
1:21
S…
Speaker 4 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Lovely.
1:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So the project previously,
1:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
in terms of the automated project,
1:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
was a fixed -term project.
1:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Obviously for us it was celebrating SBS in terms of 2025.
1:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
The introduced in terms of last year and actually
1:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
launched at the beginning of this academic year was actually a wider...
1:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
offering in terms of the whole school across all the different phases of primary phase and secondary
1:46
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
in terms of actually our F1 in schools.
1:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So the automotive lab in terms of where the car was built is
1:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
now actually a specialised F1 in schools lab which the students
1:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
have been using from upper primary all the way up through to year 13.
1:59
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Now obviously unfortunately due to some of the restrictions at
2:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the end of term two,
2:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
term three we haven't quite gone to
2:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the fruition of this yet in terms of local competition and the F1
2:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
in schools competition.
2:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But actually the next step in terms of our next two
2:18
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
to three year project is very much actually the F1 in schools with
2:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the different phases actually participating into school.
2:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
within the region they're naturally hoping to hit Abu Dhabi as well.
2:29
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Okay so it's obviously affected all schools in the region yeah I've
2:35
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
been traveling quite a few schools around different countries one specifically one also
2:39
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
in Singapore they gave me this little thing I don't even know what
2:43
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it is it's like a little canister type thing and I had it in my backpack I
2:47
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
was pulled over in security do you know the type I'm talking about it's
2:51
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
like it was a key ring they gave me and they made it as a and
2:55
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
My voice said,
2:55
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Mummy, you shouldn't be carrying that there.
2:57
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I don't know what it means.
2:59
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But anyhow, I was pulled over to the side on it.
3:01
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But so therefore,
3:02
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the UAE kids,
3:04
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
would it be because of this year?
3:06
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and what's happened in the region,
3:07
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
they're going to be a year behind the other kids worldwide in F1,
3:10
S…
Speaker 4 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
do you think?
3:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No, not at all, because everything is actually within a calendar year.
3:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So the teams actually come together,
3:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and then you have obviously different roles within that team.
3:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You've got your team managers,
3:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you've got your marketers,
3:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you've got your engineers,
3:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
then you've got your racers as well.
3:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So it's always a very timeline project.
3:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So again,
3:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
for us,
3:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
this focus has been with the DT team,
3:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
has been exploring aerodynamics.
3:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
design um and actually just the making of so um for
3:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
us not really in terms of it's not been a misprovision as such it's
3:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
more that they've engaged together they've actually had to work together in terms of teams across
3:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the different year groups so in terms of the outcome the the impact we wanted to have it's
3:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
still been there but obviously within the region there hasn't been as much
3:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
as many opportunities in terms of between schools
4:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
in terms of actually those local competitions so
4:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's not the fact they're behind.
4:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's just a reality of what we've lived.
4:08
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No problem.
4:09
S…
Speaker 4 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No worries.
4:10
S…
Speaker 5 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Okay.
4:10
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Bless you.
4:11
S…
Speaker 4 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Thank you.
4:11
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You've got an amazing choice of BTECs.
4:14
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
What are the most popular?
4:16
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Are BTECs qualifications treated the same as
4:20
S…
Speaker 3 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
valuable and prestigious as the A -levels?
4:22
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah,
4:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
very much so.
4:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I think it's really important to highlight from the very beginning
4:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that it's a...
4:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's a post -16 pathway.
4:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's the language we need to be using here.
4:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's a post -16 pathway.
4:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's not an A -level pathway and then a BTEC pathway.
4:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We have a number of students who are actually on the A -level and BTEC in terms of
4:44
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
actually a blended approach.
4:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And these students are applying to top universities,
4:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
both in the UK and around the world.
4:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
What it does provide is for some students,
4:54
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it provides a different assessment route.
4:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And again,
4:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that BTEC in terms of the assignment gives them a...
5:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
chance to shine that possibly in an exam setting of a
5:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
fixed two and a half hours doesn't and actually what we're starting to
5:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
see and has been over the last previous five to ten years is there is
5:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
a shift in the parental perception and there's also a shift in
5:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
terms of the admissions that are happening into
5:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
these top tier universities in terms of Russell groups as well in the UK and
5:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I think that's really important because
5:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Again, it goes down to that old adage,
5:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
if you're going to compare everybody by the same ruler type thing,
5:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
which ruler are you choosing?
5:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Actually,
5:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the BTEC is a fabulous opportunity for students.
5:38
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I was out last night with the parents and their daughter,
5:41
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and now she goes to Jess,
5:42
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and she's got a place already at Durham.
5:45
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But here,
5:47
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
a parent had contacted me and asked,
5:50
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
who does,
5:52
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
what is it,
5:53
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
level three?
5:54
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Nobody does it here.
5:56
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Or do they?
5:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yes, we're level three.
5:58
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So it's the one,
5:59
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
two and three.
5:59
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Level two and three.
6:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So level two is the GCSE,
6:02
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
is the...
6:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Year 10, year 11.
6:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So all those qualifications,
6:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
those age -appropriate qualifications are your level 2 qualifications.
6:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
The level 3 is everything in terms of year 12 and year 13.
6:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So they have the same equivalence.
6:14
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Of three A -levels?
6:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No.
6:15
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
That one,
6:16
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that's what I mean on BTEC.
6:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Ah, okay.
6:18
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah, one,
6:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
two, three.
6:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Double award,
6:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
triple award.
6:20
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Triple award, that's what I mean,
6:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
yes. So you don't typically do triple award.
6:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So normally,
6:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
again, the same way,
6:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and there is a purpose behind it.
6:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yes.
6:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Otherwise...
6:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Imagine we'll talk about A -level first of all,
6:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
but then apply it in terms of the BTEC,
6:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
because it does kind of make sense.
6:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
When you're doing your three A -levels,
6:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you are doing three distinct subjects,
6:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and typically two will work in partnership,
6:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and then another two will work in partnership.
6:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So you might have a child,
6:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I'll pick my son,
6:46
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
he's doing maths,
6:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
chemistry, physics.
6:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Well,
6:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the maths potentially takes him into finance.
6:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
The maths and the physics takes him into engineering.
6:54
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So there's still options in terms of destination.
6:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
If he was only doing...
6:59
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
a narrower set well then he's having to make a decision at 15 16 that
7:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
is going to influence pathways at 18 19 yes
7:07
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and that could be quite limiting because actually you know we're talking about adolescence where opinions
7:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
can change daily let alone yeah over the course of two years so exactly the same
7:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
with the btech as well it's um for if we have a student who is following
7:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
a pure btech pathway typically uh we find
7:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that those students will do double award business
7:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
because that's where their interests are and their potential destinations are going
7:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
to be.
7:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But they also might do travel.
7:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
They also might do the media.
7:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
They might do the hospitality.
7:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And that actually would take them into a slightly different direction.
7:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So it's more about the breadth as opposed to the fact that the...
7:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So I would kind of agree the fact not having the...
7:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the triple award,
7:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
as it were, is probably a sensible decision,
7:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
because otherwise you probably are getting a little bit too laser -focused too early in terms of career
7:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
destination.
7:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So even for us,
7:59
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I think it's very sensible to go from the single and the doubles,
8:02
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and then the students can mix and match,
8:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and then also with the A -level as well.
8:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Okay,
8:06
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
fair enough.
8:07
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I was speaking to a young man this morning who's doing BTEC travel and geography.
8:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Now he's got his,
8:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
has some assignment deadlines coming up with his BTEC travel.
8:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
He's got his end of year exam coming up with his geography.
8:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And again,
8:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that's the interesting part of that is actually balancing the workload.
8:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
He's been into a cycle of an assignment deadline plus an examination.
8:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Whereas actually,
8:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
8:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
so the challenges and the pressures are still very similar.
8:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So again,
8:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
this idea that the BTEC is a completely different route.
8:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's not true.
8:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No,
8:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
gosh, no.
8:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
There's still deadlines.
8:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
There's still crunch periods of the year.
8:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And boys being boys.
8:44
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah.
8:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And,
8:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
8:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and there's still...
8:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
opportunities for them to to what they're doing you know they're still purpose is still impactful and
8:55
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
again the key part is it gets them onto future destinations and a
8:59
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
wider choice yeah yeah yeah and what was it can you
9:03
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
can you talk about talk me through the btech in sport and liverpool
9:07
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
how does this work what's
9:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
happened
9:12
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
That was from Jonathan,
9:14
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
no?
9:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No.
9:15
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Okay,
9:15
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
okay.
9:16
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
How does that work?
9:17
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
What sort of careers are people looking at who study
9:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
sport?
9:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Again,
9:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we do actually have some of ours going into sports marketing.
9:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We do have some who are looking in terms of,
9:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
they're combining it with science,
9:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
so the physiotherapy route.
9:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We've actually got a young man who's very interested in going into sports agents in
9:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
terms of actually the...
9:42
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I've got two boys
9:47
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that have been through all that.
9:48
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
The other
9:53
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
thing as well is we're currently working with a couple of external providers at the moment in
9:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
terms of the locality.
10:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
The guys who've kind of set their organisations up actually look back in terms of their
10:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
career path and actually they have gone the BTEC route and they've now gone into business
10:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
enterprise in terms of where their interest being the sports as it were,
10:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
but they set up academies,
10:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
multi -sport academies and everything else.
10:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So there's a wide range you can choose to go in terms of that direct
10:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
route in terms of the sports focus.
10:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But actually it takes you into business,
10:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
takes you into hospitality,
10:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
takes you into event management.
10:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And again,
10:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it's the skills development as well,
10:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
isn't it?
10:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
In terms of managing the time,
10:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
managing the resource analysis and everything else.
10:36
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So we always talk about a little bit that the jobs are
10:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
changing and being created at a rate that it's very difficult to kind of
10:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
keep up with.
10:45
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And that's absolutely fine.
10:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It doesn't replace the fact that you do need skills.
10:49
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You get a subject title when you finish a course.
10:54
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's not really the content that's the award,
10:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
as it were.
10:58
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's the skills that you developed along and the application that you do is
11:02
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
what really shows off what you've won from a qualification.
11:05
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah,
11:06
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
yeah.
11:06
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Why have you opted for an A -level in theatre and
11:10
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
drama rather than a B -tech?
11:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Again,
11:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
purely just based upon the staff and we've actually got the student interests,
11:18
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it's one of the things that we've always kind of prided ourselves on is the student
11:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
voice aspect in the school.
11:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We do kind of believe we're working in partnership with the students at the school.
11:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So when we actually have introduced new courses,
11:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we've always kind of have the breadth of options.
11:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So if you do take the sports,
11:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
for instance, we were looking at both GCSE and BTEC in the first instance.
11:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We actually ran that both at the same time due to the interests and the strengths
11:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
of different students.
11:44
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And when we were looking in terms of the post -16 courses,
11:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
in terms of where the interests and the strengths of the students were,
11:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it was more...
11:53
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
focus onto direct A levels in terms of music and direct A level in terms of drama,
11:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
as opposed to a combined BTEC performing arts.
12:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So that was a driving decision that was very much our cohort and
12:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
ensuring we meet their needs.
12:05
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I just always remember having conversations with Samir and he says,
12:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
12:09
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
will do anything for any child even if it's one one kid in the class things
12:13
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
have changed obviously since those conversations way back in the day maybe it is still
12:18
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the same but just one of the questions how many kids would you
12:22
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know just start an a level or a b tech would you sort of like
12:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
to i'm very happy to give you a real example so i'm a teaching
12:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
principal i love teaching it's uh the highlight of my week is when i get
12:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
to spend time in the classroom
12:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Geography.
12:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I'm a geography specialist.
12:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
If you ask me first,
12:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I'm a geography teacher.
12:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
That's where my passions lie.
12:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Based upon actually the way the option blocks went this year in terms
12:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
of year 12 is because the combinations of the students choosing
12:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
geography and maths and science is actually I ran a year
12:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
12 geography group this year with two.
12:57
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
There you go.
12:59
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Well, that's some years.
13:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
That's him.
13:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So that's the right course and the pathway for those children.
13:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Now, the benefit is what we've been able to do this year as they're going into year 13
13:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
is we've actually just jigsawed the year 13 curriculum slightly differently.
13:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So those two are actually now going to join the other groups.
13:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
There's going to be a group of 13 students in year 13.
13:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I'm looking forward to that.
13:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I'll be teaching those guys in year 13 in terms of the unit four of the geography course.
13:24
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Oh, OK.
13:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And that's purely that was a strategic decision for that course,
13:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
purely because actually the unit four.
13:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
is so thematic that if you can get groups of students who are looking at different
13:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
points of arguments,
13:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it really allows you to explore geography to a deeper depth.
13:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So we will run further maths,
13:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
13:44
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
occasionally we might have one student where they might start
13:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
with a few and then actually as they continue,
13:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
because it's typically a fourth,
13:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
they might choose to opt out.
13:54
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Drama.
13:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's very difficult to do with one.
13:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know, we'd like three or four in terms of that as a cohort size to be there.
14:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But again,
14:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
if it's the right thing for the child and the experience is going to be valuable,
14:06
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
why would you not do it?
14:07
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We always build our timetabling,
14:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
our staffing, our curriculum model is to actually offer everything we offer.
14:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know, it's not the point we get to August and say,
14:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
OK, you know,
14:18
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we've offered 24.
14:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We're only actually going to run 20.
14:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
That's not it.
14:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know, we are very lucky.
14:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You mentioned Samir's ethos.
14:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
That's what it is.
14:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah. It's the right thing to do.
14:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Absolutely.
14:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We're very fortunate here in terms of our resourcing,
14:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
our staffing,
14:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
14:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
to be able to support that where we can say to students,
14:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know, as you go from the primary to the secondary school is every course
14:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that you've had exposure to.
14:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You can take that all the way through to year 13.
14:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And I think that's really valuable to do because you don't want to spark
14:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
an interest and a passion within a student and then go,
14:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
oh, you can do that to year 11.
14:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But now we need to shoehorn something else actually in.
14:55
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
There's a direct linkage to everything they do in the lower school they can take all
14:59
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the way through.
15:00
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
level three qualification okay now we're going to talk about now
15:04
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
that your principal first year done right okay congratulations absolutely
15:08
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
um has leadership of um sbs
15:13
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
delivered all that you hoped it would
15:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Well, it's an interesting question because it kind of alludes to the fact that I
15:20
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
had an idea of exactly what it was going to be.
15:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Actually,
15:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
on reflection,
15:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the amount of learning that I've done during the course of the year I think has been significant.
15:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
One of the things I've really appreciated in terms of the
15:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
role is the fact that the focus widens.
15:35
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You're now looking at the whole school.
15:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I was very fortunate in terms of...
15:40
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Being the head of secondary here beforehand,
15:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
15:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I had that exposure and that drive and the privilege to kind
15:46
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
of leave the secondary school.
15:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And now that encompasses foundation,
15:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
primary and secondary.
15:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And I think the bit I've really...
15:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
really enjoyed is increasing the breadth
16:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
of the staff I get to interact with on a daily,
16:04
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
weekly basis.
16:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And we're just so fortunate.
16:07
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We've got some very,
16:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
very talented people in this building.
16:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And I really enjoy spending that time with those guys.
16:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's from the accounts team,
16:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the operations team,
16:15
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the site team,
16:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
security teams.
16:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
The breadth have probably
16:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
not caught me out,
16:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
but it's...
16:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's a great job.
16:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know,
16:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
every day is different.
16:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Every day is different in terms of teaching.
16:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
There's no doubt about that.
16:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
But in terms of the principalship,
16:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it's multi -hatted.
16:34
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So this year,
16:35
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
OK, now moving on to your second year and what we've just been through in the past
16:39
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
100 days.
16:40
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
100 days today,
16:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
isn't it?
16:43
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah, that's what they said today.
16:44
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
That's what I heard on the radio coming down.
16:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know,
16:49
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
what about staff leaving,
16:51
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
staying,
16:52
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
retention?
16:53
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
How are you doing?
16:54
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah, we're doing very well.
16:55
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's the,
16:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we're an interesting time of the year.
16:58
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We keep saying it's the final first because it's the first
17:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
year 13 cohort through.
17:05
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So we had our final first in terms of two weeks ago with our
17:09
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
year 13 graduation because that's the last,
17:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
17:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it's our first year 13 graduation.
17:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We've got only one left.

which is the results day in august that's the first year 13
17:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and then everything else now is actually building uh sustaining and
17:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
actually you know that incremental increases that's the challenge now and
17:29
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it is a kind of it is a slight change of focus when you're building something first of all it
17:34
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
is a slightly different mindset it's a slightly different process of your planning
17:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
of your coordination and what you're doing with your teams versus
17:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And now we have a fantastic point in terms of,
17:46
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know,
17:47
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you've been to school a number of times,
17:48
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you've seen how the school has grown in terms of facilities,
17:50
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
resources.
17:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Exactly.
17:53
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
From when ground was broken initially,
17:55
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we've now hit maturation.
17:56
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It's,
17:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know, it's the,
17:58
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
we're at a point where...
18:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Actually, staff,
18:01
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
to some extent, they can go away in June and come back in August,
18:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and there isn't a new building.
18:04
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No, absolutely.
18:06
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You've maxed it out.
18:07
S…
Speaker 2 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
No, you definitely have.
18:08
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And it's settled,
18:10
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and the corridors are settled.
18:12
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Obviously,
18:13
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
it always takes a while,
18:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
but it's now feeling really lived in,
18:16
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and your different corridors now feel like those zones of the school,
18:19
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
because the teachers have...
18:21
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know, they've lived in it,
18:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
they've actually built it,
18:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
they've got the shape,
18:24
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
they've got their ethos,
18:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the corridors actually,
18:26
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know, they're alive.
18:27
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
When you go to the innovation area,
18:30
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know you're there.
18:31
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know when you go to the land,
18:32
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know you're there.
18:33
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Whereas when you walk into an initial building...
18:37
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It just smells of paint.
18:38
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yeah.
18:39
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know, it's a change.
18:41
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So it's,
18:42
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
yeah,
18:43
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
I'm very much looking forward in terms of the next academic year.
18:46
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
We have to accept the fact that there has been an increased
18:50
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
uncertainty.
18:51
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know, you mentioned the 100 days.
18:52
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Yes, there has been.
18:53
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And I think for us in terms of adults,
18:57
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
especially in terms of teaching,
19:00
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
the importance of maintaining stability for the children.
19:03
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It also means it does kind of increase the burden on teaching as well.
19:07
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
You know, there's no doubt online teaching does require a degree more planning
19:11
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
and a degree more thought than in -class teaching.
19:14
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
It does, especially in ensuring that,
19:17
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know, you're meeting all the needs of the different children and maintain the progress.
19:22
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
And that,
19:23
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
you know, we have to accept that that can be attritional.
19:25
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
So the staff well -being has been a real priority.
19:28
S…
Speaker 1 (Brian_Eimear_Interviw)
Of course.
