This Week's News
Friday 27th March 2026
Dear Parents and Carers,
We have reached the end of a very busy term, and what a wonderful way to finish with our Easter celebration assembly. The children looked fantastic in their Easter hats and sang beautifully; thank you so much to all the Reception parents who were able to join us this morning.
Year 1 had an exciting start to the week with their visit to Brooklands Museum. They had a fabulous time, and I have enjoyed reading the creative recounts they have been writing in English throughout the week.
Thank you to everyone who attended Parents’ Evening over the last two weeks. I hope you found it valuable to hear about your child’s progress as we prepare to move into the final term of the year.
Please remember that from Monday, 13th April, Oatlands will become a mobile-free site.
We kindly ask that all parents and carers finish their calls and put phones away before entering the school gates at drop-off, pick-up, and for school events. This change aligns us with Cleves and, most importantly, ensures our children are greeted with a smile and our full attention!
On behalf of all of us here at Oatlands, we would like to wish you a very Happy Easter. We hope you have a wonderful break and that the sun shines wherever you are!
Tanya Mooney
