Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at Lime Wood eager to begin their day and are greeted warmly by staff who know them well.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the time and space they need to settle so they can start learning calmly and confidently.”
- “Relationships between pupils and staff are nurturing, respectful and built on trust.”
To improve
- “The school should sustain, and where appropriate, refine its purposeful approaches to evaluating its work, so that all those involved in leadership, including governors, maintain a sharp understanding of the school’s strengths and areas for development.”
- “Leaders should build on their highly effective work to nurture an inclusive ethos, underpinned by high standards of behaviour, by further fostering awareness and understanding of factors that can affect pupils’ behaviour and emotions.”
