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."
With recent changes to our Governance we are strengthening our stakeholder voice and involvement and have implemented our Parental Participation Strategy. We are committed to building strong, positive relationships with parents and carers and by working in partnership, we aim to strengthen communication, inclusivity and engagement. You can find the strategy for Lime Academy Larkswood on the Governance page of this website.

After that, the children had time to spend their money in the Tuck Shop before heading for a delicious dinner, which included potatoes, ribs, chicken kebabs and sweetcorn. They can’t wait to toast marshmallows at the camp fire tonight! ... See MoreSee Less

The children used tuning forks to create vibrations and then dipped them into water to observe the vibrations in action. As the tuning forks vibrated, the water splashed and rippled, helping us to see how sound is made through vibrations.
It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that brought our science lesson to life! 👏😊 Take a look at our young scientists in action! 📸 ... See MoreSee Less
