About Elson Junior School

Elson Junior School, a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Gosport, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022. That rating marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2018, when the school was graded Requires Improvement. The turnaround is reflected across the board: inspectors awarded Good for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 45% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure sits below the Hampshire local authority average of 61%, and places Elson Junior 12th out of 17 schools in the Gosport local area ranking. Just 4% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, though individual subject scores tell a slightly more encouraging story: reading and writing both saw around 60% of pupils reach the expected level.
