Courage Compassion Creativity
It’s the end of an era—our EYFS classroom was officially demolished this week! The exciting journey of rebuilding and transforming the entire area has now begun, with completion scheduled for June 2026. We can’t wait to see it take shape.
In the meantime, our newly rehomed Reception class celebrated with a Teddy Bears’ Picnic on Wednesday. They welcomed parents with cheerful songs before heading outside to enjoy the sunshine and some tasty treats. I’ve heard Paddington Bear even made a surprise appearance!
Wishing you all a wonderful extended weekend—we look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday.
Warmest regards,
Nicola O'Hare
Head Teacher

Last year’s results are in—and Sarratt has excelled across the board!
We’re proud to share that the percentage of children achieving both the expected and higher standards in reading, writing, and maths combined—a key indicator of academic performance—was significantly above both national and local averages. In fact, twice as many children at Sarratt reached the higher standard compared to schools nationally.
This is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the hard work of our pupils, staff, and families. Well done, everyone!
