From the Limehurst Academy
We constantly encourage making positive decisions and having a can-do attitude because we want our school to be a successful and joyful place.
Achievement in a Caring Environment is our school's motto.
We consider our school to be an inclusive one since everyone who attends makes a positive contribution.
Students who are feeling vulnerable or who require assistance with issues like self-esteem or anger control can turn to our Student Support Team for support and guidance.
We are a listening school, and we think that when people feel like they can make a difference and have a voice, they feel appreciated.
We support our pupils in developing their own learning styles and ways of thinking.
We are a community of students from a variety of backgrounds, but they are all students at Limehurst Academy, and we want the best for them all. This is what unites us.
Inclusion, though, involves more than simply the pupils.
We want parents and carers to have a sense of community inside Limehurst.
We are lucky to have a set of governors who are very supportive and who collaborate closely with the school, but who also pose difficult questions to make sure the school keeps up its exceptional standards.
