Jubilee Primary School

About Jubilee Primary School

Jubilee Primary School sits within the Kent local authority, a large county with 459 primary schools, and ranks 12th out of 44 primary schools in the Maidstone area. That places it comfortably in the top quarter of schools locally, with a ranking score of 77 on the key stage 2 expected standard metric. The top-performing peers in the wider Kent area include Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, Leigh Academy Dartford, and Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School, all of which score in the high 90s. Closer to home, the nearest Outstanding-rated school is Allington Primary School, just 2.6 kilometres away. Jubilee itself holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in October 2023, which noted the school remains Outstanding. That inspection followed a full graded inspection in July 2017, where the school earned top marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision.

Academically, Jubilee Primary School performs well above the Kent local authority average. At key stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63%. In maths, 87% met the expected standard and 29% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 107. Reading results were similar: 81% at expected and 35% at the higher standard, also with an average score of 107. Writing saw 84% at expected and 16% at the higher standard. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 17% of all primary schools, and within the South East region it sits in the top 16%. The school does not publish progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to compare how much value it adds relative to pupils' starting points, but the attainment figures are strong across the board.

The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 125 applications for 51 places and 47 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.45. It has a capacity of 420 pupils and currently enrols 353, so there is some headroom. A quarter of pupils (25.5%) are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and suggests a diverse intake. Facilities include a library, sports hall, gymnasium and playing fields, and the school offers netball, swimming, dance and gymnastics. Clubs range from book and art clubs to eco, science, coding and chess. The school also provides for a wide range of special educational needs, including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a solid, well-regarded primary that suits families looking for strong academic outcomes within a supportive, inclusive setting in Maidstone.
