Check the area around this school
133rd of 425 primary schools in Kent we can score, 460 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 — 9.6/10 against 3,042 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 14 | 35% | 0.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Jubilee Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 23.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools). The March 2026 Ofsted inspection used the new report-card framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils join Computing, Book, Arts and Crafts, Young Voices Choir, Board Games, and Film clubs. Sports include table tennis, football skills, lacrosse, netball, badminton, athletics, gymnastics, and swimming. Arts and music options cover photography, dance, poetry, and sculpture. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 386 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
