What This School Does Well
Jubilee Park Academy creates a calm, positive learning environment where children are happy and behave well. The school teaches an ambitious curriculum with regular checks to spot gaps in learning, and provides excellent support for children who need extra help. Visits to museums, galleries and workshops bring learning to life and help pupils remember more.
Key Strengths

Areas for Improvement
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough, including disadvantaged pupils who persistently miss lessons and wider school experiences

- School should engage with parents earlier when attendance rates start to decline to remove barriers quickly
Safeguarding
