St Christina’s Visit

Posted: 5th February 2016

A scientific reaction

We look forward to hosting St Christina’s Year 5 pupils for a morning of scientific fun and experimentation on Tuesday 9th February. This event continues our programme of partnerships with local Catholic primary schools.

Mr Barnes, Head of Science, has organised a morning of exciting activities which focus on the subject of Reactions. Specifically, pupils will consider the nature of reversible and irreversible changes to various materials. Partnered with our Lower II girls, pupils will, among other things, investigate the properties of water, iron and magnesium, testing the application of heat and the process of distillation.

These linking days are occasions on which our girls broaden their experience of working in partnerships. In addition to the immediate social enrichment this provides, such events contribute to girls’ enthusiasm for the subject and preparation for lifelong success.

Following the very positive feedback from Mount Carmel’s recent visit, we look forward to welcoming our friends at St Christina’s and showcasing the wonderful facilities of St Augustine’s Priory.

Strengthening Our Community: The Return of Boys to our Preps and Pre-Preps

We are excited to share that, from September 2026, boys will begin moving up from our Nursery into Reception, marking the gradual reintroduction of boys into our Prep and Pre-Prep School.

This step reflects growing interest from families who value our strong holistic ethos and unique grounds and setting and would like their sons and daughters to share their educational journey together.

At St Augustine’s, our strong sense of community, academic excellence, and deep care for each individual child remain at the heart of everything we do. This is a natural evolution of our school rather than a change to who we are, building on our strengths and allowing us to offer the same joyful, inspiring education to even more children.
