Welcome
Lime Walk Primary School is a one form entry school with children starting Reception in the autumn term prior to their fifth birthday and provides 30 hours Nursery provision for pre-school children.
The school has 8 classrooms and extensive grounds including nature areas, playgrounds and a large playing field.
We are an inclusive school that engages with all members of the school community to see that all children receive an education that is aspirational, inspires, engages passions and one that will live fondly in their memories for many years to come. Every day children build on existing knowledge and learn to apply skills through a range of activities independently and collaboratively. As part of our learning culture, lessons are adapted to meet individual needs and ensure that learning is relevant and personalised to enable everyone to achieve and succeed through a variety of outcomes. Every child is encouraged to make links between concepts taught in the classroom and their own experiences.
At the heart of the school’s values is the desire to create an environment where children have the opportunity to succeed and utilise their ability to make healthy choices.
I hope that you find the information on our web page useful - please feel free to contact us should you have any queries.

The Early Years Foundation Stage at Lime Walk Primary School offers children safety and security from the moment they enter. We offer a stimulating environment with resources that are plentiful and engaging and our caring staff are committed to helping children achieve the best of their ability through an engaging curriculum full of first hand, memorable learning experiences.
Within our Early Years Foundation Stage Unit there are 26 places, all with a September intake. Our Nursery runs from 08:45am to 11:45am, followed by the option of 30 hours care.
All Nursery children are entitled to a 15 hour funded place. Children of parents who meet additional criteria may be entitled to a 30 hour funded place (upon completion of application through www.gov.uk and presentation of an eligibility code to the school).

All parents that are interested in a 30 hour funded nursery placement are required to indicate to the school that they will be submitting an application to www.gov.uk as they meet the criteria for 30 hours free childcare.
