Upper IV on their production of ‘The Witches’

Posted: 19th May 2017

Madina Masoud, Zayna Ahmad & Lizzy Higham tell us more about Upper IV’s performances of ‘The Witches’ by Roald Dahl from the perspective of the actors:
‘Last Monday and Wednesday, Upper IV A and Alpha performed The Witches by Roald Dahl. We felt extremely privileged to be inaugurating the newly-refurbished Hall and facilities. Our comical play proved a success with lots of laughter from both the audience and backstage. Our class portrayed a variety of characters such as witches, chefs and waiters and we were lucky enough to portray some of the main characters, including the Boy and Grandma.
The most enjoyable part of the production was working together in our scenes and dressing up in wigs and costumes. The experience was both enjoyable and educational as we learnt how to improve various skills including communication and team work.  The new facilities assisted our performance as costume and scene changes were made easy. Overall, the play went well and despite several hiccups, as a class, we managed to persevere and improvise.
Upper IV would like to thank Ms Brown and the estate staff for their help during the rehearsals and set-building. We look forward to participating in future school productions.’

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.
