Balloons in the Prayer Garden

Sunday 15th May was Pentecost Sunday when we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles.  Miss Slight, Nursery Form Teacher, here tells us how the Nursery and Prep III marked the occasion.

‘Last week the Nursery and Prep III visited the Prayer Garden to celebrate Pentecost together. We talked about Jesus sending the Holy Spirit down and what that meant. We then said some prayers together and released balloons in to the sky. The children were extremely excited to be a part of the celebration and were fascinated watching the balloons travel across the sky.. some were even stuck in the tree!’

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.
