We run Code Clubs throughout the year for different year groups. This term, we have a group of girls from UKS2 taking part in various micro:bit projects. Yesterday, we made an interactive badge that would show a smiley or sad face depending on which button was pressed. Everyone worked really hard to be successful!
On Thursday 26th September, Sir Alexander Fleming celebrated the range of diversity throughout Europe by spending an afternoon learning about different countries in Europe. Each year group was assigned a different country and they did lots of research about the country and the culture which linked with the curriculum. Some year groups learnt about the location of the country, others tried the native food, one year group had a zoom call with a native Swedish speaker and others did art work based a famous artist from that country. All year groups learnt basic greetings in their chosen language. We then had a whole school assembly where each year group shared with the school what they have learnt.
It was a great day!
We have appointed our new team of Digital Leaders in school this week and had our first meeting today. In the meeting, we explored what we wanted to achieve this year and came up with the following ideas:
We are excited to see what we can do this year!
Good afternoon,
It is that time of year again where you need to start thinking and looking at which secondary school you would like your child to attend in September 2025.
To apply for your place you need to access the Telford and Wrekin website and follow the pages thread below:
It should take you to a page that looks something like this:
Click the red button and make your choices.
It is vital that you make the maximum amount of choices; our experience is that if you only put one and you are not allocated this then you are given any school and that could be the other side of Telford. Visiting the schools is a great idea so you can see what they are like and get a feel for if your child will be happy and successful there; as soon as these dates are available we will let you know.
We are happy to help you complete your application and we have many colleagues that can help! Just pop and see Mrs Pilgrim or the Y6 teachers and we will organise this.
The deadline is: 31st October 2024 and applications MUST be submitted by then.
Letter from Telford and Wrekin

Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery
Behaviour Policy and Curriculum
What do our children think about our Behaviour Systems?
“Opportunities can never be reached unless you are well-behaved”
“Our rocket system works well as it shows the children that they have consequences”
“The teachers are fair and follow through with the consequences”
“It is a good system because there are lots of people to talk to who support you, like the SLT, Rainbow Room, Mrs Fisher, behaviour mentors”
“You can go to the calm room if you feel stressed or worried”
Everyone has a right to feel safe at school. The staff at Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery are committed to ensuring that every child is protected from harm. Everyone is of equal value and will be valued equally regardless of whether they have a disability, whatever their ethnicity, culture, religious affiliation, national origin, or national status, whatever their gender and gender identity and whatever their sexual identity.
It is everyone’s responsibility to help make our school a happy place where everyone can be successful. We expect that the respectful behaviour of children will enable teachers to teach, and each other to learn. Everyone is responsible for their own behaviour and our expectation is for good behaviour offline and online. Good behaviour is something to be proud of and so is rewarded and celebrated. The education of many children will be protected from disruption by a minority who are demonstrating unacceptable behaviour; this will be met with consequences. Parents will be informed about the expectations of the school and about the consequences if the child behaves inappropriately in school, in the community and online.
Please find attached a copy of our school behaviour policy and behaviour curriculum for 2024.
Behaviour Policy September 2024
If you have any questions regarding our behaviour policy or curriculum please do not hesitate to ask your class teacher or any member of staff.
Best wishes,
Mrs Tomlinson
KS2 joined in with a live lesson on Wednesday this week, exploring what it was like to be an engineer. Exposing children to ambitious careers is crucial, and we hope all our children grow up to be ambitious and aspirational. Highlighting careers in STEM subjects is a focus for all schools and we hope our children learnt some of the highlights of being an engineer during the webinar
