Strengths
- “Dosthill Primary is a school where pupils thrive.”
- “The school day begins with a warm welcome from staff at the gates.”
- “The core values of the school, being ready, respectful and responsible, shine through in all that pupils do.”
To improve

- “This makes it difficult for teachers to know what to revisit and check.”
- “As a result, some pupils struggle to connect new ideas with what they have learned previously.”
