We started building our ‘improved living’ homes at the end of May and have now completed the first stage: two blocks containing nine studios for shared living by single teachers.

The teachers moved in at the beginning of term, and then endured our team of builders working around them for two months.

The new homes are a world away from the shacks the teachers used to have to rent: they now have ceilings, tiled floors, curtains, a gas hob, a modern bathroom – and solar lighting and hot water.

Here are a selection of photos showing the new homes – which should serve the school for at least fifty years.
