St Augustine’s Priory receives top rating in Diocesan Inspection Report

Rated ‘Outstanding’ in all areas, we were delighted to receive the report from our recent Westminster Diocese Inspection this week.

The Headteacher, Mrs Sarah Raffray, commented, ‘We are delighted that the school has received a ringing endorsement of all that we know is true about St Augustine’s.  We are especially pleased that the inspectors recognised our success in achieving our ambitious vision and values’.

Mrs Lisa McDermott, Faith Life Faculty leader, said ‘I am so proud of all the girls and our wonderful R.E. team’.

In an accompanying letter to the report, the Chief Inspector of the Westminster Diocese Education Service added, ‘It was a delight to read of the ways in which you enrich the educational experience for your pupils at St Augustine’s Priory, particularly in their Catholic life, in such a rigorous, challenging and exciting way. Shining through the report was the way in which your pupils are being developed as leaders – in preparing and participating in liturgy and in supporting each other.’

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.
