Opening night!

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Little Shop of Horrors

Opening night of this year’s school production, Little Shop of Horrors, on Thursday 9th March went down a storm.  The monochrome set and costumes, spectacular singing and the homemade Audrey II plants tied together a moving and hilarious performance.  Even our carnivorous plants made their way down to Questors Theatre in their terrarium and planted themselves in the foyer, waiting patiently for unsuspecting prey.

One audience member commented on the growth of the Audrey II plant using Junior girls as puppeteers, saying it was “a stroke of genius”, while alumnae who attended were awed at the confidence and professionalism of the actors. The girls gave an outstanding performance, and we thoroughly look forward to the next two nights.

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.
