About Lime Academy Abbotsmede

Lime Academy Abbotsmede, a state primary school in Peterborough for children aged 3 to 11, was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022. That includes leadership, behaviour, personal development, early years provision, and the quality of education itself — a clean sweep of positive judgments. The school has held a Good rating consistently, with its previous inspection in 2014 also awarding the same overall effectiveness grade. When it comes to the most telling exam metric, the school's Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 51% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Peterborough local authority average of 59%, placing the school 37th out of 60 primaries in the area. It also ranks in the bottom 50 nationally on this measure, with a percentile of 76.3, meaning roughly three-quarters of schools across England performed better.
