Jubilee Primary School

About Jubilee Primary School

Jubilee Primary School in Lambeth has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. This marks a significant improvement from its previous overall rating of Requires Improvement in 2014. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, are both rated Good. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 53% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Lambeth local authority average of 66%, and places the school 45th out of 54 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, Jubilee ranks in the bottom half of all primary schools on this measure, sitting at the 73rd percentile.

Looking more closely at the individual subjects, the picture is mixed. In writing, 71% of pupils met the expected standard, and 20% reached the higher standard. Reading saw 64% at expected and 24% at higher, while maths had 65% at expected and 18% at higher. Average scaled scores were 104 for reading and 103 for maths. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects was just 9%. The school’s ranking within Lambeth places it 47th out of 59 primary schools overall, with a ranking score of 53. For context, the top-performing school in the borough, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School, scored 96 and is located just 0.6 km away. There are 14 primary schools in Lambeth rated Outstanding by Ofsted, so competition for high-performing places is strong.

Jubilee is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 97 applications for 30 places, a ratio of 3.23 applicants per place, and only 25 first-preference offers were made from 31 first-preference applications. The school serves a diverse community, with 57.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals. Facilities include an ICT suite, a library, a gymnasium, a forest school area and a chapel. Sports on offer are football, cross country, cricket and swimming, while clubs include art, gardening, drama, eco club and coding. The school has a broad range of SEND provisions, covering autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and social, emotional and mental health support, plus a resourced provision. This is a school that has improved its Ofsted rating and offers strong pastoral and SEND support, but whose academic results sit below the local average — a factor worth weighing carefully against the high demand for places.
