Countdown to the Mini Mile!

Posted: 20th September 2017

Getting the Ealing Feeling

One of the main events that amplify the strong sense of community the Borough of Ealing residents feel is coming up this weekend – the Ealing Half Marathon. Social media is buzzing once again this year with messages of preparation, motivation and anticipation as we count down to the annual race – but unlike prior years, Ealing Half Marathon will be running two events this weekend; making its debut as a stand-alone event in only its fourth year as a race this weekend is the Ealing Mini Mile.

This Saturday 23rd September will see the Mini Mile’s highest ever number of young runners, with 1600 runners participating in five age-specific races.  Not only are we the supporting the (bigger and better) event this year as its sole sponsor, the school will have a physical presence at the race on Saturday to support the sixty St Augustine’s Priory girls participating!  Amongst those running will be Olivia Sparks of Form III who came first in the Nike Mile Run in Richmond last weekend, and our Running Club members who have been training with the Senior School Running Club in preparation for the Mini Mile.

We’re looking forward to what is sure to be a fun and atmospheric day and, as strong advocates for courage and game-changing, we feel immense pride for all of the young runners participating in the Mini Mile this weekend. Find our marquee in Lammas Park for refreshments and the St Augustine’s Priory spirit!  See you there!

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.
