About Lime Wood Primary School

Lime Wood Primary School in Bexley holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection, a solid foundation for a school that is significantly oversubscribed. With 126 applications for just 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 55 of those offers going to first-preference families, demand clearly outstrips supply. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits at 67% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That figure is exactly in line with the Bexley local authority average for primary schools, placing Lime Wood firmly in the middle of the pack rather than among the top performers. For context, the highest-ranked local peers like St Thomas More Catholic Primary School achieve a ranking score of 95, so while Lime Wood is not an academic outlier, it is a consistent, popular choice that delivers the expected standard.
