    28 Nov 2025

    A new chapter for Inclusion at Lime Wood Primary School This half term marked an exciting development for Lime Wood Primary School: the opening of our new Specialist Resource Provision (SRP)- Tiny Seed Class.

    Designing a Happy Pier: Year 1 Work with Studio Egret West In June, we were delighted to welcome back the talented team from Studio Egret West, the architects behind our school building, for a special workshop with our Year 1 pupils. The visit began with an engaging assembly titled “What does an architect do?”, where children learned about the role of architecture and how design influences the spaces around us. The architects then introduced an exciting real-life challenge: “Let’s redesign Erith Pier to make it a Happy Pier!” This creative task was part of an ongoing regeneration project at Erith Pier – a local site close to our school.
