Jubilee Primary School

Jubilee Primary School is a highly inclusive and caring mainstream primary where pupils achieve very well, especially by the end of key stage 2. Published outcomes are above national averages, and disadvantaged pupils achieve highly. The school's inclusive culture, SEND support and personal development programme are particular strengths; pupils feel safe, behave well and benefit from a broad curriculum and rich enrichment offer. Safeguarding standards are met.

Strengths

• Pupils achieve consistently well and make substantial progress from often low starting points.
• Key stage 2 outcomes are above national averages, including for disadvantaged pupils.
• The school has a highly inclusive culture with accurate early assessment of pupils' needs.
• Staff are well trained to identify and remove barriers to learning for pupils with SEND.
• Personal development and wellbeing provision is comprehensive and well embedded across the school.
• Pupils benefit from a broad, ambitious and enriching curriculum with wide extracurricular opportunities.
• Behaviour is calm and purposeful, with rare bullying and strong respectful relationships.

• Pupils feel safe, valued and well prepared for the next stage of their education.

Areas for Improvement

• Curriculum and teaching consistency still needs embedding so all pupils build key knowledge securely.
• In some lessons, learning is not designed to build sufficiently on prior knowledge, slowing some pupils' progress.
• Early years improvements are positive but not yet fully embedded across all activities.
• Leaders should continue targeted work to improve attendance for specific identified groups.
• Leadership should continue embedding consistency in teaching across the school.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

In 2024–25 pupils at Jubilee Primary School attended 95.3% of sessions (the national figure for primary schools was 94.8%). 12.9% of pupils were persistently absent, missing at least one session in ten (nationally 13.0%).

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

In 2024–25, 1.4% of pupils at Jubilee Primary School were suspended at least once (nationally 1.1%). No pupils were permanently excluded.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2025–26 Jubilee Primary School had 23.3 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 24.4% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 15.7%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 14.2% of pupils at Jubilee Primary School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 0.5% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.

In 2024–25 Jubilee Primary School received £5,924 and spent £6,329 for each of its 353 pupils. It ended the year with reserves of £240,000 (£680 per pupil).

Income per pupil

Spending per pupil

Academy figures include a share of the trust's central services, shared out by pupil numbers, and are rounded to the nearest £1,000. Premises costs were defined differently from 2024, so compare them across that gap with care.
