About Jubilee L.E.A.D. Academy

Jubilee L.E.A.D. Academy is a popular choice among Nottingham families, with 62 applications for just 27 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. All 27 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option. The school has a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate grade. In its most recent ungraded inspection in April 2025, inspectors confirmed that standards are being maintained, with Good marks across all categories including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. With 50.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, yet it has clearly built a strong reputation locally.

Academically, Jubilee L.E.A.D. Academy performs broadly in line with the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 58% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, just below the Nottingham average of 60%. The school’s ranking places it 41st out of 72 primary schools in the local authority, putting it in the bottom half. However, individual subject scores are more encouraging: 75% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and the average maths score was 105. In reading, 71% reached the expected level with an average score of 103, while 72% did so in writing. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in all three subjects was 12%, and in maths specifically it was 25%. These figures suggest solid core provision, particularly in maths, even if the combined measure lags slightly behind the local benchmark.

The school offers a practical, well-equipped environment for primary-aged children. Facilities include an art studio, sensory room, forest school area, ICT suite, gymnasium and a chapel. Sports provision covers athletics, swimming, netball, rounders, tennis and cross country, while after-school clubs range from film and gardening to coding and book club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school’s SEND register is broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, autism, hearing impairment and physical disabilities. With a capacity of 420 and currently 328 pupils on roll, there is some room for growth. The school does not have a nursery or sixth form, so it is strictly for primary-age children. It will particularly suit families in the Nottingham area who want a Good-rated, inclusive community school with strong early years provision and a wide range of enrichment activities.
