Specialist Resource Provision Opens at Lime Wood
28 Nov 2025A 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. The SRP provides places for 12–15 children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) where the primary need is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or speech, language and communication needs (SLCN). It is designed to offer specialist support within a mainstream school environment, helping children achieve academically, socially, and emotionally. At Lime Wood Primary, our vision is: “To deliver a curriculum that is provided by good teachers underpinned by an effective blueprint for excellence in culture, behaviour, attainment and wellbeing – to find the champion in everyone.” Our SRP reflects this vision by providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where children with ASD and SLCN can grow in confidence and thrive.
