Lime House School was founded in 1899 and moved to its present location in Dalston (near Carlisle) in 1946. The school is a fully independent co-educational boarding and day school providing an affordable and quality education for pupils aged seven to eighteen.
Recognised as efficient by the Department for Education since 1930. The Headteacher is Mr Smith who joined the school in September 2024. Set in a rural environment where each child's talents and potential are carefully nurtured, our curriculum encourages academic achievement alongside pupils' sporting, cultural and personal development.
Our aim is simply to ensure that each pupil achieves his or her potential both academically and socially, each child being treated individually.

The happy child is often a successful one. In this website we have tried to convey what is special about our school. If you have not visited, then we hope that after viewing the website and reading the prospectus you will want to come and see more of what we would provide for your child.
To arrange a visit, simply contact the school and we can arrange a convenient time for you. Any prospective pupil is more than welcome to spend a taster period at the school. https://www. limehouseschool. co. uk/virtualtour/index. htm What the school is known for?
