No Pens Wednesday

Art with a difference

Lower I made the most of No Pens Wednesday on 26th April during their Art lesson with Mrs Mackay, which they spent out in the meadow creating beautiful land art.

Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy whom Lower I have been studying as part of the curriculum, the girls gathered materials in the meadow to fashion delicate patterns and designs.  They even found time to wrap up intricate gifts of flowers for Mrs Mackay.

Andy Goldsworthy is a British artist, sculptor, photographer and environmentalist. He produces art situated in natural and urban settings, producing art work of great beauty, a feat which Lower I brilliantly emulated!

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.
