Welcome to Lime Academy Larkswood
At Larkswood, we have places for 800 children between the age of three and eleven. We are a multi-cultural school with over 20 nationalities represented.
Our ethos is clear – we put children first, we always look for ways to be brilliant and are values led, believing in displaying: Respect, Equity, Self-worth, Partnership, Enjoyment, Communication and Trust, in all we do.
We have high expectations for all our pupils and expect them to achieve the best possible outcomes, so they leave the school as confident learners who are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
Our curriculum is broad, balanced and motivational, encouraging all pupils to become independent thinkers and learners. We place a vital importance on life-long learning, aiming to prepare our pupils for the future workplace and to become global citizens.
Our pupils’ behaviour is exemplary, they are proud of their learning and of their school. Their efforts and successes are constantly celebrated.
“Leaders have high expectations for pupils behaviour”
The school was inspected by OFSTED on 11th and 12th of July 2023 and it deemed that we continue to be a good school. We are very proud of this achievement especially as the lead inspector particularly commented on the fact that;
"Pupils are happy and safe in school. Leaders are ambitious for what pupils can learn and do. Pupils study a broad curriculum. Teachers are subject experts. They explain new concepts clearly. Pupils learn to read extremely well."
Co-Headteachers Nancy Dibley and Ellie Metcalf.
We enjoy starting each week with a whole school assembly. It's great to get together and have a focused discussion as a whole school. This week we looked at OPAL again, we reflected on how the first week had been and thought about the new equipment for this week. Key Stage 1 are having a small world area introduced and Key Stage 2 are looking forward to playing with a sand activity table. #LarkswoodLife #OPAL #WholeSchoolFocus ... See MoreSee Less

Year 6 have been working incredibly hard in writing, focusing on creating engaging non-chronological report based on animals of their choice. Pupils carefully researched their chosen species and organised their ideas into clear sections, using ambitious vocabulary and factual detail. They then edited and improved their work before publishing their final pieces, taking great pride in presenting them to a high standard. We are so proud of our Y6 learners. #larkswoodlife #year6 #Writingforpurpose #non-FictionWriting ... See MoreSee Less

A huge thank you to everyone who has continued to donate items to support our OPAL play provision, thank you for your generosity. We have made an excellent start to our playtimes, with children enjoying new opportunities for creativity, exploration and imaginative play.
We are always grateful for any further donations and are currently looking in particular for:
🧢 Hats and bags
🚜 Toy vehicles and diggers
🦖 Animals and dinosaurs
👧 Dolls and action figures
If you have any of these items that are no longer needed and are in good condition, we would love to give them a new home at school.
Thank you again for your ongoing support – it is making a real difference to our children's play experiences! ... See MoreSee Less
