About Jubilee High School
Jubilee High School in Runnymede is a mixed state secondary for 11-16 year olds that currently educates 664 pupils against a capacity of 750, leaving some physical room for growth. The school serves a notably diverse intake: 25.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for secondary schools and a strong signal of the community it draws from. Demand is high, with 347 total applications for 143 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. Of those, 139 were first-preference applications, and 135 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that while the school is popular locally, it is not quite filling every first-choice place. Headteacher Mark Conroy leads a school that has seen a significant improvement in its Ofsted rating, moving from Requires Improvement in 2013 to Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2015, a status confirmed as remaining Good in an ungraded inspection in March 2024.
Academically, Jubilee High School's outcomes are mixed when compared with the Surrey local authority average. Its Progress 8 score of -0.24 places it below the LA average of 0.26, and the school ranks 48th out of 66 similar schools in Surrey. Within Runnymede itself, it sits at the bottom of the five secondary schools, with a Progress 8 score of -0.24. The Attainment 8 score is 43, and the basics measure at grade 4 or above in English and maths reaches 62.5%, though this drops to 35.4% at grade 5 or above. The EBacc entry rate is low at 11.1%, with only 8.3% of pupils achieving the EBacc at grade 4 or above. The Progress 8 banding is rated as Average, and the school's strongest subject area is open subjects (Progress 8 of -0.03), while maths shows the weakest relative performance at -0.4. The school does not have a sixth form, so pupils leave at 16.
The school offers a solid range of facilities including science labs, a sports hall, gymnasium, art studios, tennis courts, playing fields, music rooms, and a library. Sports provision covers hockey, netball, martial arts, tennis, rugby, football, and cross country, while clubs include debate, chess, Model UN, choir, science club, and orchestra. SEND provision is comprehensive, with a dedicated SEN unit and support for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, visual impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. This makes Jubilee High School a particularly suitable choice for families whose children require structured SEND support within a mainstream setting. The school is oversubscribed, so parents should be prepared to apply early and list it as a first preference to maximise their chances of a place.
