Courage Compassion Creativity
It may be a new year, but our values and expectations at Sarratt School remain as strong as ever—beautifully reflected in this picture of our Reception class.
It was wonderful to visit the site this week and see the fantastic progress on our new Reception and Nursery building. The project is on schedule and set for completion by the end of the Summer Term.
Wishing you a restful weekend, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday.
Warmest regards,
Nicola O’Hare
Head Teacher

We kindly ask parents not to park on the grass alongside the pavement on the route from school towards Dawes Lane. Unfortunately, this area has recently been damaged by deep tyre tracks.
Please note that this grass verge is owned by the Parish Council and is not public land, so we must ensure it is treated with care.
Thank you for your support in helping us look after our local environment.

The school’s priority during severe weather is the safety of pupils, staff, and families. Decisions about closing the school are made carefully, taking into account road safety and emergency access, conditions on the school site, staffing levels, travel risks for families, and advice from local authorities and emergency services.
The Headteacher will decide on school closure as soon as possible (by 7:00am or the night before if conditions are clear) and inform parents/carers via the Arbor school messaging system.
What parents need to know
Severe weather may lead to later start times or early finishes. This will be communicated in advance via Arbor.
Breakfast club, after‑school club, and external clubs are cancelled during closures, so families should have alternative childcare plans ready.
Home learning will be provided through Google Classroom (Year 1 to Year 6). Children will meet with the teacher online via Google Meet at 9am. The teacher will set learning tasks to be completed through the day.
Please allow time for messages to come through before calling the school.
Phone calls may not be answered if staff cannot reach the building, though an out‑of‑hours voicemail is available.
Final note
The school will only close when it is not safe or practical to remain open. Every closure decision is made with great care.
