Limpsfield CofE Infant School has shown good overall performance following its first inspection since becoming exempt from routine checks. The school maintains a warm and caring environment where pupils feel supported and celebrated for their achievements. Strong leadership and governance have brought stability amidst recent changes, fostering a renewed sense of community among parents, staff, and students.

However, some teaching methods do not sufficiently address gaps in knowledge or emphasize the most important skills in all subjects, which affects some students' learning outcomes.
