What a great morning at Lowerhouse Junior School! Year 2 (Rosegrove Infant School), Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 children had a busy time meeting their new class teachers, exploring their classrooms, and getting to know their classmates during our transition morning. They took part in different activities to help them understand what to expect as they get ready to move up to their new year groups in September.

We are also happy to welcome Miss Showemimo to our team, who will be teaching in Year 4 Maple from September 2026. Let’s all give her a warm welcome to Lowerhouse Juniors!
