Jubilee Primary School

Jubilee Primary School is a smaller-than-average primary school in Thamesmead, part of Trinitas Academy Trust, with above-average levels of free school meals and location deprivation. Following a full inspection in July 2026, inspectors judged the school to be meeting the expected standard across its evaluated areas, with safeguarding standards met. The school is described as welcoming and inclusive, and pupils are happy, feel safe and behave well. Strengths include a broad and ambitious curriculum, effective inclusion and support for pupils with SEND, positive early years provision, and strong leadership and governance. Pupils benefit from a well-structured phonics programme, a coherent personal development programme, and a wide range of clubs, trips and leadership roles. Disadvantaged pupils are well supported and generally achieve close to or above national averages in several areas. However, too many pupils remain persistently absent, including some disadvantaged pupils, and attendance improvement is not yet fully secure. Some older pupils do not write with consistent accuracy, fluency or presentation, and pupils' fluency in phonics and multiplication facts has not been consistently secure over time. Teaching and support are not always precisely tailored to pupils' needs, and performance varies between subjects and cohorts. The report's next steps focus on strengthening curriculum implementation and attendance strategies.

Strengths

• Pupils are happy, feel safe and develop a strong sense of belonging in a welcoming, inclusive school.
• Behaviour is positive and respectful; bullying and discrimination are rare and addressed swiftly.
• Leaders have designed a broad, ambitious and carefully sequenced curriculum.
• Pupils with SEND learn alongside their peers through appropriate curriculum adaptations and effective support.
• The well-structured phonics programme and early reading provision help younger pupils learn to read.
• Children get off to a positive start in the early years and are well prepared for Year 1.
• Leadership and governance are effective, with accurate self-evaluation and a tenacious approach to improvement.
• Staff are well supported, and leaders consider workload and wellbeing.
• Personal development is coherent and age-appropriate, helping pupils build confidence, resilience and respect for diversity.
• Disadvantaged pupils receive effective support and achieve broadly close to or above national averages in several measures.
• A wide range of clubs, trips and pupil leadership roles broaden pupils' experiences.

Areas for Improvement

• Persistent absence remains too high, particularly for a small group including some disadvantaged pupils.
• Some older pupils do not write with consistently secure accuracy, fluency, handwriting or presentation.
• Pupils' fluency in phonics and multiplication facts has not been consistently secure over time.
• Teaching and support are not always precisely tailored to pupils' needs and gaps in understanding.
• Performance varies between subjects and cohorts, and mathematics outcomes were below the national average in 2024/25.
• Early years staff interactions are occasionally not precise enough to address gaps or deepen learning.
• Leaders need to strengthen attendance strategies, including work with external agencies, to secure lasting improvement.

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 94.6% of sessions (the national figure for primary schools was 94.8%). 19.0% 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, 0.0% 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 20.0 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 11.9% 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, 14.4% of pupils at Jubilee Primary School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 3.4% 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 £8,650 and spent £10,141 for each of its 151 pupils. It ended the year with a deficit of £413,000 (-£2,735 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.
