Spring has sprung!

Counting chickens…

This year we took possession of some eggs in the hope that some of them would hatch into chicks! This did not take long and we are now the proud possessor of several beautiful chicks.

There has been a competition to name the chicks and some winning names have already been announced. So, we welcome, among others, David Peckham, Omelette, Lindsay Lohen and McNugget.

At the moment the chicks are eating and growing in an incubator in the Science block, but it won’t be long before they are installed in our palatial hen house in the Orchard where they will hopefully enjoy many long years of happy scratching, pecking and perching.

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.
