The best way to experience LJS is to visit us in person and we offer a range of visiting options to suit you. The majority of children join LJS in Reception and our Reception open events are a brilliant way to get to know the school, our staff and children – it’s relaxed and fun with plenty for your child to get stuck in with while you chat to staff. We also offer personal tours for those looking to join in any year group, allowing you to see LJS in action on a normal school day.
Our personal visits are tailored to you and your child and generally take place during the school day, although evening and weekend visits can also be arranged. A personal visit allows you to have a proper look around the school while it is in action – giving you chance to meet the people that will teach your child and the children that will become their friends and role models.
