Strengths

“At Lime Walk, pupils know each other well.”
“Pupils are proud of their work and very appreciative of the support their teachers give them.”
“Many parents comment on how much their children enjoy the school.”

To improve

“However, in some foundation subjects, pupils’ learning is not checked as well.”
“Consequently, leaders do not always know if pupils have the secure understanding of the important knowledge they need to achieve well in these subjects.”
“Occasionally, adults do not clearly identify what they want children to learn in some play activities.”
