Jubilee Wood Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 February 2022

The school is a vibrant, diverse and close-knit community where staff and pupils feel valued and appreciated. Pupils have a profound sense of their responsibility to others. Their thoughtful care towards others is reflected in the positive actions they take. For instance, pupils collect donations for the food bank, raise funds for charities and sing to the residents at the local care home. Pupils feel safe and happy. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour. Staff quickly address any incidents of bullying. Pupils trust that staff will help them deal with their worries. Pupils say that the 'worry boxes' are a good way to raise any concerns they may have. They understand the importance of a balanced diet and exercise. At lunchtimes, pupils make their own healthy sandwiches in the dining hall. Children in the early years chat happily with their friends as they explore the stimulating environment that leaders have created. Older pupils take their responsibilities seriously, such as being members of the school council, playtime buddies, library monitors and house captains. They enjoy learning new hobbies. Pupils particularly like the cheerleading, sewing, graffiti art, chess and cooking clubs. They work with a beekeeper to look after beehives in the area.

What the school should improve

• Some teachers' subject knowledge is not as strong in the foundation subjects as it is in English and mathematics. Leaders need to continue the work already started to make sure that all teachers have the necessary subject knowledge to teach well across the curriculum. This will ensure that pupils' achievement improves further.
