Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and happy at Montgomerie Primary School.”
- “They benefit from a supportive environment where everyone is respected and welcomed.”
- “Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and caring.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, leaders have not fully identified all the important information pupils need to know.”
- “This means that teachers do not make appropriate choices about what to teach when planning their lessons in these subjects.”
- “They sometimes try to cover too much, so pupils do not learn knowledge in the right depth.”
