- **4/5** — Some mixed feelings about the school: My child has been at Scarcroft Primary School for a year now and while we have been pleased with some aspects of the school, we have had some mixed experiences. The school's facilities are really good and the staff are generally friendly, but we have found that the school's communication could be improved and there have been a few issues with class sizes. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great school with a strong sense of community: My children attended Scarcroft Primary School a few years ago and we were really impressed with the school's values and community. The school day is well-structured and the teachers are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment. The school's emphasis on British Values and Personal, Social and Health Education is particularly impressive. *(Dec 2021)*
