About

We are delighted to welcome you to Lime Academy Hartwell. Lime Academy Hartwell has recently joined Lime Trust and we are excited to take the school into its new phase of development. Our vision as a Trust is Putting Learners First, a vision we are committed to delivering for all of our young people.

Lime Academy Hartwell is an inclusive special school located in the centre of Luton. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young people with a wide range of education needs and disabilities.

At Lime Academy Hartwell, every learner is at the heart of everything we do, and we are passionate about empowering our pupils to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally. Our skilled and caring team works closely with families and external professionals to ensure each pupil receives a tailored educational experience.

By fostering strong relationships and creating individualised provision within our learning pathways, we aim to help every child access a personalised and purposeful curriculum that develop the skills, confidence, and independence they need for their future.
