Mosstowie Primary School

Overview

The inspection found that children are "confident, well behaved and happy" and exemplify school values within a "positive and nurturing learning environment." However, recent leadership changes mean there has been "insufficient time to demonstrate the overall impact" of new improvement measures. Consequently, the school requires additional support and a further inspection within one year.

Strengths

Areas to improve

• The local authority must support the school to ensure planned improvements are "implemented, effective and sustained over time."
• Staff need to improve approaches to evaluating school work, ensuring self-evaluation is "robust and based on high-quality evidence."
• The school must ensure the "overall quality of learning and teaching is consistently high across the whole school" to raise attainment.
