Nursery and Preps celebrate Pentecost

Posted: 24th May 2018

Prayer Garden prayers.

It is never too early to celebrate and this week our youngest pupils proved this with their marking of the Feast of Pentecost, which took place last Sunday.

Our Prayer Garden proved the ideal venue when all our Nursery and Prep I, II and III pupils gathered there to celebrate Pentecost, the marking of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles in Jerusalem.

Ms Morris, Nursery teacher, reports:  ‘This was a wonderful experience for us all.  The Nursery and Prep children joined together in the Prayer Garden and listened to some music, emphasising the ‘Alleluia’ so fitting to this season.  Each class then read a prayer of thanks and celebration before releasing four red balloons into the sky.

This was a very calm, peaceful and uplifting experience for us all’.

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.
