Hanwell Homeless Concern

Priory Purpose

Thank you to Amy-Elizabeth Roye of Upper VI, who wrote the following to parents last week on behalf of Priory Purpose, the charity movement set up by the Sixth Form.

“Every year St Augustine’s Priory helps to support a local charity, ‘Hanwell Homeless Concern’.  Miss Sylvia Clayton, a former St Augustine’s Priory teacher, helps run Hanwell Homeless Concern, which provides relief for the homeless by providing meals three times a week, occasional clothes, a doctor every fortnight, the use of a shower, and a Christmas party.  St Augustine’s Priory supports this charity by providing bars of soap, which form part of the presents handed out at the Christmas party, as well as supplying Christmas cards – handmade by the Senior girls and Christmas crackers donated by Holroyd Howe, our caterers.

A group from Priory 6 took the soap and cards to Hanwell Homeless Concern’s Christmas lunch on Monday 12th December where they served lunch to the volunteers and homeless people.”

“It was really rewarding giving something back to the community and meeting new people”, Mackenzie Parry-Bull, Upper VI

“We had a great time singing carols with everybody”, Nicoletta Bencka, Upper VI

“I was really moved giving a Christmas card to a man who said it was the first one he had ever received, he was touched by the effort out school had gone to for them”, Lora Jones, Upper VI

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.
