Heather James has returned back to West Huntspill Primary School in Somerset after several years away, to ensure a safe journey for pupils and their parents and carers.

It is the latest in a raft of improvements since the school joined The Priory Learning Trust (TPLT) earlier this year along with its sister school, East Huntspill Primary School.

Both schools saw the restoration of the school bells which rang for the first time again in September.

Principal Steve Davis said: “Our pupils and families are very excited to have a school crossing patrol lady back to ensure extra safety on the route into school.”

A huge restoration project over the summer saw 30 hours of hand polishing on the East Bell, not used for 10 years, and a new West Bell which was last used 20 years ago.

They have also had impressive signage and a new logo.

The school is situated in the picturesque, beautiful Somerset countryside.

The next Reception 2022 parent tours are on Tuesday 23rd November (East) at 1.30pm and Thursday November 25th (West) at 1.30pm.https://www.huntspillfederation.co.uk
