149 In 2023-2024, participation in the “Active Sister Schools” project enhanced students’ intercultural awareness and communicative competence. The school ranked third among international participants, confirming the effectiveness of Scrum-based project learning. Conclusion The Scrum approach has proven to be an effective tool for improving management processes and enhancing the quality of English language teaching in primary school. Its implementation supports participatory management, strengthens cooperation between teachers, students, parents, and administrators, and ensures transparency and accountability of all educational processes. The use of Scrum in English lessons contributes to the development of communicative competence, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills among primary school students. Project-based activities organized through short sprints increase motivation, encourage responsibility, and create a supportive environment for authentic language use. Furthermore, Scrum facilitates the integration of digital tools and international cooperation, enabling schools to function effectively even under challenging conditions such as distance learning and martial law. The experience of the Municipal Institution “Kharkiv Primary School №33 of the Kharkiv City Council” demonstrates that Scrum can serve as a strategic resource for sustainable school development. The authors believe that the presented experience will be valuable for educators, school leaders, and researchers seeking innovative approaches to educational management and teaching practice.
