Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Information about this school

This special school is part of the Federation of Westminster Special Schools with College Park School and the Outreach and training service.

This federation was formalised in January 2012 with a single governing body and the appointment of the executive headteacher. College Park was inspected at the same time as this school. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs.

The proportion of those with more complex needs is increasing. The number of pupils in the sixth form has decreased and the number of children in the Reception class has increased significantly since the previous inspection. Over three quarters of the pupils are from minority ethnic groups and many ...of these are learning English as an additional language.

These proportions are much higher than average. The proportion of pupils who start at the school at times than would otherwise be expected is much higher than average. The majority of pupils are known to be eligible for free school meals and therefore in receipt of the pupil premium (additional government funding).

All Year 7 pupils are eligible for catch-up premium funding. The school mainly offers the Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network (ASDAN) externally accredited courses and does not enter pupils early for other examinations. Since the previous inspection parts of the school have moved to a new building incorporating health services and providing hydrotherapy facilities.
