About Us

At Lime Academy Orton we offer enrichment activities across the school year. We want our learners to have a range of experiences that celebrates the wonderful diversity of our school community. These experiences are carefully planned to allow all learners the opportunity to generalise their skills in different settings during national and religious events. We will share any important information about each event with families and staff as it approaches. Our enrichment events are celebrated and captured on Evidence for Learning, in our newsletter and in our enrichment calendar.

Our approach to teaching phonics follows the Little Wandle: Letters and Sounds Revised approved programme. This ethos of teaching phonics is tailored to individual needs and is outlined within our curriculum document in a developmental progression. We recognise that each individual may progress in both linear and lateral ways through this continuum and that alternative teaching methods or levels of scaffolding will be required. This is planned on an individual basis utilising elements of the curriculum to form outcomes, linking to each learner’s EHCP.

Careers education at Lime Academy Orton is linked intrinsically to our approach to Preparation For Adulthood (PFA) for our pupils. This begins as pupils join the school and is embedded into both their individual Education Health Care Plan outcomes and their bespoke curriculum offer. For us and our leaners CIAG is having a planned pathway for life after school.
