Hello! On behalf of all the children, staff and governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to the website of Lowerplace Primary school. This website has been produced to help to provide you with an insight into our school. It is full of information that will help you familiarise yourself with many of our structures and routines.
I trust you will find it useful and are able to find all the information you need if not, please contact our school office who will endeavour to help you. I am very proud, and privileged to be Headteacher of Lowerplace Primary School that is at the heart of the community. Our school is full of amazing children and staff and I can't imagine being anywhere else!
This is my second headship and I have been in primary education for nearly 30 years.
