Our Inclusion Team brings together a wealth of experience and specialism to support the needs of our children. Team members work together with the school community to overcome barriers to learning and secure opportunities for success.

There are several ways in which you can contact us:

• email the office, admin@lowerhouse.lancs.sch.uk,  which is checked by our staff and will forward to our inclusion team throughout the day. 
• telephone 01282 426774 and ask for a member of the inclusion team.

We all aim to be as accessible as possible to parents and carers; but as we have over 200 pupils and classroom commitments at our school, we have to work on a priority needs basis and always put the needs of all children first. Wherever possible, please book an appointment to see our Inclusion Manager or member of our Inclusion Team initially.
