February half term 1 week holiday – Food vouchers for FSM eligible children: Dear All – As you may be aware the Director for Children's Services has agreed to fund Free School Meal vouchers for the upcoming February 1 week holiday. This means that Hindhayes will be allocated some funds from the Government and for these families, I have organised for you to receive your child's voucher electronically via email from Friday 14th February. The funding allocated is £10 per child, per week for the holiday period. For any families where your financial circumstances may have changed or you are unsure of your entitlement, you can contact the school office by emailing (Office@Hindhayes.co.uk). Alternatively, please complete this link below which is a very straightforward online form, which takes less than 5 minutes to complete and will go directly to colleagues at County Hall to check eligibility. No additional checks are made and this is purely to see whether we can allocate this additional funding to you: Free school meals (somerset.gov.uk) For eligible families, it means you receive the support you are entitled to as well as Hindhayes receiving the correct funding into the budget at this extremely challenging period for all schools. We encourage all families to complete the online form please, regardless of circumstances. If there are any queries or you need any help, please contact the school office through the above email.

Dear All As you may know, it was school photo day yesterday. Unfortunately our usual photographer is unable to take the photos and we therefore took the decision to take these ourselves. Mrs Nester and Mr Scott bought in their own cameras and equipment and we set up 2 photo stations where we had a traditional photo on a plain background then followed by a festive scene with 2 photos, followed by an outside whole class photo. It was fun and staff and children enjoyed having their photos taken, as did the staff taking them! We are going to offer the photos for families to purchase via Parent Mail from tomorrow, Friday 15th and digital images will be sent by the end of next week, Friday 22nd. All schools are facing difficult financial challenges at the moment and all of the funds raised will go directly to the school budget. Therefore, please help support Hindhayes by purchasing the photos. The cost will be £15 for a bundle of 4 images, which will include a standard plain background, 2 festive shots as well as a class photo. We want everyone to be happy with their images and while we can't offer the professionalism of our usual photographer, we hope you'll appreciate the personalised images. We will make sure that all images are emailed to those who purchase them by Friday 22nd so that you can use these if you wish for gifts. We know the photos are great gifts and the ideas are endless, such as, Calendars, Mugs, Jigsaws, Magnets, Cushions, Gift vouchers....the list goes on!
