From the Hindhayes Infant School
At Hindhayes, we think that student, staff, and parent community collaborations are the foundation for success. Each child is enriched and developed in an effort to help them become successful people who will eventually play an active role in their communities. At Hindhayes, we have the highest standards for each and every student. We want all of our students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to be prepared for the next phase of their educational journey through great pastoral care, high quality teaching, and an interesting curriculum. In light of this, we collaborate closely with Elmhurst Junior School, which serves as our primary feeder institution for students who leave us at the conclusion of Year 2. Our website has been designed to give you a flavour of the learning experience that we offer to very young children, however there it is no substitute for visiting our school and so we urge you to come and visit us when the children are working so that you can see first-hand the caring environment that our staff work so hard to establish. Please get in touch with the school office, and I will be more than pleased to show you and your kid around our lovely campus.
