Check the area around this school
16th of 56 primary schools in Lambeth we can score, 58 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.7/10 against 962 of them, against 8.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Jubilee Primary School
Overview
Jubilee Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "happy and harmonious" environment where pupils get along well. Leaders are "ambitious for all pupils," delivering a high-quality education with specialist music teaching and strong support for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils are encouraged to "respect and treat everyone in the school’s community equally," supported by initiatives like "reading buddies" and "playground angels."
- The curriculum in reading and mathematics is "especially well developed," with content broken into small steps so staff know "exactly what pupils should learn."
- Pupils with SEND are "very well prepared for their next steps in education" and have equal opportunities to access all school offerings.
- Staff benefit from leaders’ work to "reduce their workload," and the governing body provides "thoughtful support and challenge."
- Pupils develop "fluency and enthusiasm for reading" through precise phonics modelling and access to "quality literature."
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not defined subject-specific knowledge in enough detail, causing pupils to confuse learning across subjects and struggle to recall key knowledge.
- Occasionally, classroom tasks do not closely focus on the intended curriculum, meaning pupils spend time on activities that do not help them learn and remember essential content.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being "confident about how to keep children safe," "vigilant," and making reports in a timely manner.
