Validity of Jumuah in a School Prayer Hall?

Question: Is it permissible for a maulana to go and lead jummah prayer in a school prayer hall which would mean that he cannot offer jummah in the mosque. We are concerned because the 5 fard prayers are not held in congregation in the prayer hall so perhaps his jummah will not ne valid. However he is the only person who could go and provide much needed instruction to the students at the school in the english language.
It is not one of the conditions for the validity of Jumuah that the five
fard prayers be offered there. As such, he could go to the school and prayer
jumuah there, as long as it is officially recognized, and not explicitly closed
to those who would want to join.
Wassalam,
Faraz.
