About Alderwood Primary School

Alderwood Primary School in Greenwich stands out against the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 71%, Alderwood achieves a significantly higher 81%. This places the school 7th out of 57 primary schools in Greenwich, comfortably in the top 10% of its local authority. The school’s overall ranking score of 81 reflects strong academic performance that clearly exceeds the typical Greenwich primary. However, it’s worth noting that Alderwood is not the highest performer in the area — three nearby schools, including St Mary’s Catholic Primary School just 1.6 km away, score higher. Still, for a school where nearly 60% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, these results are notable and suggest effective teaching and support.
