Dear Parents and Carers,

And so, we reach the end of a busy term and what a wonderful morning we had with our Easter assembly. It was lovely to welcome our Reception parents to watch the whole school perform their vast array of Easter songs. Well done everyone!

Reception had the perfect weather for forest school this week and had a fabulous time exploring the mud, swing and hammock as well as making their own Easter chick nest, bird feeders and faces out of clay. Thank you to all of the parents who came along and made the days so successful.

This week we have also had special celebration assemblies awarding children for showing their values and our half termly ‘Star Mathematician’ assembly. Children were proud to receive their certificates and see their photographs displayed.

We hope you have an enjoyable Easter break and look forward to seeing you all ready for the summer term on Tuesday 22nd April.

Vomiting & Diarrhoea

We would like to remind parents that if you child has vomiting or diarrhoea they should stay off school until they have not been sick or had diarrhoea for at least 48 hours. 

Car Parking

We have again had numerous complaints from the Oatlands community regarding the poor parking of our Oatlands Parents.  We again ask that you park respectfully and if necessary arrive a little earlier to park further away and walk.

We have been advised that there is now 30 minutes free parking in the car park in Oatlands village, which is just a short walk from the school.  We hope that parents will use this so that there is less parking outside school.
