Gary Lloyd - Head Teacher

I am proud to be the Headteacher at our fantastic school. It has been a privilege to work at Lowerhouse Junior School since January 2025, but I have worked in education since September 2004, which is now many years ago!  Throughout my career in education, I have been determined to ensure that all children have the best possible experiences. My passion in education is helping children reach beyond their potential as well as providing sporting opportunities.

In my role as headteacher, I am looking forward to using my experience to support the leadership of Lowerhouse Junior School in continuing to develop our curriculum, education and experiences for all our children. 

Hannah Marsden - Staff Governor

I have had the privilege of working with the children and families of Lowerhouse Junior School in a number of roles over the last ten years, and I am excited to take on my new role of Deputy Headteacher. 

I am passionate about teaching and learning and working hard to get the best outcomes for all children here at Lowerhouse. My special interests in teaching are maths and also ensuring that the school has a comprehensive and supportive early help offer to ensure all our families are receiving the support they need to thrive. As Inclusion Manager, I work closely with our school SENCO to ensure that the provision we have in place for pupils meets their needs and ensures they are making good progress. 

I enjoy working as staff governor and being able to share the achievement and progress of our pupils with our supportive governing body.

Hannah Boulton - Parent Governor

As a parent and someone who’s passionate about education and the wider community, I love the opportunity to get more involved and support the school in any way I can.

I’ve worked in education for the last 20 years, moving from Nursery Manager to HLTA and working as part of the Senior Leadership Team, then the last 3 years I have gone into children’s services and community work. This has given me a good understanding of the challenges schools and families face, as well as experience in areas like safeguarding, supporting vulnerable children, children with SEND and working with different agencies to improve outcomes for young people.

As a parent of children who do and have attended Lowerhouse Junior School, I already feel a strong connection to the school. Now, with my child beginning his journey at Lowerhouse Junior School, I’m keen to be part of the next four years, and beyond, contributing to collaborative working and supporting the school in any way I can.
