Strengths
- “Pupils at Scott Primary School happily live by the four school rules.”
- “Therefore, they are kind and polite, smile at each other and try their best in everything.”
- “Pupils show respect for each other and staff through, for example, holding doors open when moving around the school.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, curriculum plans have not been broken down into small enough building blocks.”
- “This causes teaching to move too quickly.”
- “Therefore, pupils do not build the deep understanding they should.”
