About Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School

Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Telford and Wrekin local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 63 per cent, but this school’s figure is 52 per cent — a gap of 11 percentage points. That places it 34th out of 40 primary schools in the borough, firmly in the bottom half. The picture is mixed when you dig deeper: 72 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard in writing, which is a solid result, but reading (57 per cent) and maths (65 per cent) lag behind. At the higher standard, just 2 per cent of children achieved the combined benchmark, compared with 11 per cent in maths alone. These are challenging numbers, and they help explain why the school ranks in the bottom 50 nationally on the combined expected measure.
