About Alexander McLeod Primary School

Alexander McLeod Primary School’s headline metrics place it slightly ahead of the Greenwich local authority average for primary schools, but not dramatically so. The school achieved a 72% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, compared with the LA average of 71%. That one-percentage-point gap is modest, yet it’s enough to rank the school 29th out of 62 primaries in Greenwich, putting it in the top half of the borough. More striking is the school’s Ofsted record: it was rated Outstanding across all four graded categories in its January 2025 inspection — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision all received top marks. This is a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2011, and it joins just 12 other primaries in Greenwich that currently hold an Outstanding grade. The nearest Outstanding alternative is Bannockburn Primary School, 1.3 km away.
