What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

The pupils of Emmaus Catholic and CofE Primary School enjoy coming to school. They are happy and safe. Pupils behave well in lessons, around the school and at playtimes. The school is a calm and orderly environment. Some pupils say that bullying happens occasionally, but they also say that it is always dealt with by adults. The school responds decisively to any instances of poor behaviour. The school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve. A well-sequenced curriculum is in place. Pupils are catching up with learning missed during the COVID- 19 pandemic. The school plans many opportunities for pupils to widen their experiences through educational visits. These experiences help pupils build ambition and aspiration. Pupils also have opportunities to discover and develop their individual talents. For example, all pupils learn to play the violin. External speakers are carefully chosen to address issues faced by pupils, such as knife crime. Older pupils undertake positions of responsibility, such as subject ambassadors. In these roles, they promote reading and Spanish to their peers well.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculum is not having the impact the school intends it to have. Pupils are not making sufficient progress. The school should ensure that regular and precise checks are made on pupils' learning so that gaps in their knowledge are identified and addressed quickly.
  • Teachers do not accurately identify gaps in pupils' learning and do not then adapt their teaching to meet the needs of the pupils. Leaders should ensure that teachers identify and respond to pupils' gaps in knowledge by adapting their teaching.
  • Too many pupils do not attend school often enough. This limits how well these pupils learn. Leaders should build on their strategies to secure pupils' attendance so that all pupils attend school regularly.
