Mental Health and Book Week unite

Posted: 26th February 2018

New publication.

Having just celebrated our Book Week with some stupendous activities, Mr Elder, English Department, highlights an issue very much in the spotlight:

‘As a school we have mental health very much in mind – both in regard to students and ourselves. The charity MIND provides support and funding for support services for those in need of help. Since Book Week was last week I would like to draw your attention to this book that was published during Half Term.  ‘Please Hear What I’m Not Saying’ is a collection of poems raising money for MIND that explores all kinds of matters relating to mental health:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Please-Hear-What-Not-Saying/product-reviews/1984006649


Money raised by the sale of this book goes to the charity MIND. My small contribution is to have a few poems in the book (and to have actually bought it!). If you feel you can support the cause then please do so.’

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.
