Message from Mrs Nester: Dear parents and carers We hope you have enjoyed the summer holidays and thank you for having the children on the extra INSET days this week. Just to reassure you that we have worked incredibly hard to ensure that we are ready to open as planned on Monday morning. There will still be a week of work to complete but this will not impact the children and their learning experience or personal safety. Once the rooms are finished we look forward to welcoming families in to see the work that has been completed, we know you will be thrilled. We will provide some photo updates next week in the first school newsletter. During the last couple of days the staff will be very busy but if you have any questions please do feel free to email the school office and we will respond to your queries. Here's to a wonderful school year.

Dear All – We hope that you're having a great summer. We wanted to let you know although the school is closed, lots of work is going on to improve Hindhayes ready for when we return in September. Due to the significant fundraising and support of Somerset Council we have been able to realise our ambitious project to fully refurbish 4 classrooms, the corridor to the classrooms as well as create additional toilets and storage areas. There is a new roof and heating also. None of this would be possible without the support by all involved and their hard work and vision. The project remains on schedule to be completed and although there is a lot to do, I hope you'll see from the pictures below the quality and level of work involved. The building team are working 7 days a week, putting in long days to complete the work so that we are ready to welcome you back in September. This week for example the doors and windows are being fitted, then flooring the week after. Also, we have improvements to the heating system around the rest of the school and have had several trees felled during the holidays. It is and continues to be a really busy summer of improvements at Hindhayes. Enjoy the rest of the holidays and we look forward to seeing you soon.
