HLTA

Lime Tree Primary school opened in September 2013 and, since opening, we have a lot of achievements to celebrate. The children, staff, parents and governors have all embraced the mission statement that is summarised in the strap line ‘Learning Together to Achieve Success’. 

We are located in a purpose built school in Merstham where the blank page that we started with is now taking shape, with our ethos and values underpinning our day to day organisation as well as the overall strategic direction that the school is taking to move forward and grow year on year.

As an academy within GLF Schools, we benefit from sharing outstanding resources, and support in every aspect of school life from learning and teaching to staffing and educational expertise.

At Lime Tree Primary School we have high expectations of all children, staff and parents. By working and learning together we are confident that the children will grow, learn and flourish into confident young adults equipped to face the challenges of the future. Our school values focus on the key skills and attribute that will help the children become successful learners.

• A supportive and approachable senior management team.

• An expanding network of Nurseries and Schools.

• An exciting opportunity to grow and develop

• Job satisfaction.

• The opportunity to work in an expanding and developing Educational Trust, GLF.

GLF Schools promotes a cross-cluster collaborative approach, allowing colleagues to share expertise and experience, ensuring all children in our schools receive an excellent education and reach their potential. Through this cluster model, GLF Schools is committed to providing opportunities for professional development and career progression.

Our School sits within a newly established cluster of schools, overseen by a Regional Director. Along with Lime Tree, our cluster includes the following other schools; Southgate Primary School, Forge Wood Primary School, Greenway Junior School, Salfords Primary School, Kilnwood Vale Primary School and Merstham Primary School.  

GLF Schools is a Multi-Academy Trust established in 2012. We believe that every child in our schools can achieve the highest academic standards whilst enjoying a vibrant, challenging and rich curriculum. What we say in our motto is true: "Where Children Grow, Learn and Flourish." Whilst operating as a part of a family, each of our schools has its own distinct character and culture which is respectful of its community and context but their utmost common ground is that it is our staff that make each school. Our collective GLF culture is built upon caring for our children and students by enabling our staff to provide the best possible education with the resources at our disposal.

We have a simple mission. "To be a supportive family of schools where together we grow, learn and flourish”
