Lightwoods Primary Academy welcomes families seeking an excellent education for their children to book a tour and experience our school firsthand.
At Lightwoods, we are committed to fostering a caring and nurturing environment where every child feels safe and supported, enabling them to excel in all aspects of their development.
We provide excellent teaching and engaging learning experiences that are designed around exciting themes that connect different subjects together. Our goal is to spark curiosity and enthusiasm for learning in our pupils, helping them feel inspired, enriched and fully prepared for their upcoming years at secondary school and the wider world.
In 2024, Ofsted judged our school good with outstanding features in behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
During their visit, families will have the opportunity to explore our school’s classrooms and facilities, speak with staff and pupils about life at Lightwoods Primary Academy, and meet the Principal.
Principal, Rob Matthews, said: “At Lightwoods Primary Academy, we believe in fostering a passion for curiosity and learning in every child. Our dedicated staff and enriching environment help children grow into their full potential, instilling in them the skills and confidence to succeed in all aspects of life.
“This is a fantastic time to join our school and we look forward to meeting families looking to join us in September 2024 and welcome them into our community.”
Families are advised to contact the school directly to book an appointment time that suits them and arrive early to allow ample time to make the most of their visit, helping them make a well-informed decision for their child’s education.
