Headteacher’s welcome
Welcome to Lime Academy Larkswood.
At Larkswood, we have places for 800 children between the age of two 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, Equality, 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.
The school was inspected by OFSTED on 23rd January 2018 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;
‘The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection, setting high expectations for what pupils can achieve’.
The school ‘have created a learning environment that promotes your core values. Your curriculum meets the needs of all your pupils because you are constantly reviewing its effectiveness’.
‘One of the strengths of the school is the pupils’ attitudes to learning. They work hard to support each other, are polite and resilient, and take a pride in their school’.
‘Parents and pupils agree that the school is a safe place to learn’.
