What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
Pupils at Emsworth Primary School are well mannered and happy. They say good morning to visitors, hold doors open for others and contribute to conversations with enthusiasm. The school values of 'Enjoy, Persevere, Succeed' are definitely alive in the school. Pupils receive good teaching and care. In return, they want to give back to the school. Every pupil can have a class responsibility, while others have a whole school role. Being eco-warriors, e-safety ambassadors, pupil governors, prefects and heads of houses are just some examples of ways in which pupils contribute to the school. They articulate these roles with maturity. Pupils behave very well both in class and around the school because of teachers' high expectations. Pupils want to do their best for themselves and to help each other, especially if someone is sad or worried. They value being kind to everyone and help pupils who are new to the school to settle in. Pupils are unequivocal in their respect for people with different backgrounds. For example, they are equally accepting of different family set-ups, with one older pupil very thoughtfully reflecting that 'it doesn't matter as it doesn't change who you are'.
What the school should improve
- Although some subjects, such as computing and music, are planned from Reception through to Year 6 in careful steps, not all subjects have a precise sequence of knowledge, skills and vocabulary. This means pupils' understanding in those subjects does not consistently build over time as well as it could. Leaders need to ensure that the work recently started to improve the curriculum continues so that the curriculum provides the complete breadth of key knowledge, skills and vocabulary that pupils need to learn and remember.
