Creative Competition

‘Making a Difference’ and ‘Be a Game Changer’

Being inspirational, having an effect on a situation, making a difference – whether on the world stage or in your own home.  We all know of people who are, or have been, game changers:  Archbishop Oscar Romero, Rosalind Franklin, Mother Teresa, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Isaac Newton…

Yes, our annual creative writing (and drawing competition) is under way!  Run in conjunction with local independent bookshop, Pitshanger books, we are focusing on our theme this year of Game Changing.

Pupils from Prep I to Upper I are invited to draw a picture or write a story about ‘Making a Difference’.  For those girls in forms Lower I to Upper I they may write a poem or a story and may add an illustration.

Pupils from Lower II to Form III are invited to write a poem or a story on the theme of ‘Be a Game Changer’.

There will be prizes on offer for the first place and runner up in each group and the prizes of book tokens will presented on our fireworks night on Friday 20th October.

Entries must be received by 16th October – so get writing, drawing and researching!

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.
