Jubilee Primary School

Overview

The report describes Jubilee Primary School as a “welcoming and happy” place where values of “respect, excellence, and friendship” are deeply embedded. Leaders strive to ensure all pupils gain “deep and broad knowledge,” supported by staff who maintain high expectations for behaviour and provide effective care. The inspection highlights a curriculum that is largely well-planned, with particular success in early years and reading, though some subjects require further refinement in their long-term planning.

Strengths

• Pupils demonstrate “exemplary” attitudes towards learning, behaving maturely and listening attentively in class.
• Staff are “well trained to teach phonics” with precision, ensuring children read with “fluency and expression” and gain confidence quickly.
• Leaders provide timely support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to access the same knowledge as their peers.
• The school offers a “wide range of enrichment activities,” including clubs and visits, which broaden pupils’ horizons and raise aspirations.
• Staff report that leaders engage effectively with them, taking into account their “well-being and workload.”

Areas to improve

• In a few subjects, leaders have not yet identified the essential knowledge pupils need to know from early years to Year 6, meaning pupils do not build securely on previous learning.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff thoroughly trained to identify risks and refer concerns promptly, while leaders persistently work with external agencies to secure help for pupils.
