Meeting Members of Staff…

Posted: 21st September 2018

Miss C M Costello.

We were delighted that Miss Caitlin Costello joined the staff in September.  She has strong links to St Augustine’s Priory as we learn from her:

‘As a former pupil, it is great to be back at St Augustine’s Priory and to see how it has grown in recent years. One development I particularly like is the Priory Farm.  I am now the third generation of the Costello family to work at the School, following in the footsteps of my grandfather and mother.

I studied Geography at Newcastle University where I became passionate about Feminist Geography and also enjoyed an amazing field trip to Borneo. Since graduating I have been working in recruitment including a stint at ASOS.

In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit, walking and listening to live music. I am looking forward to my new role as Admissions and Communications Assistant and being part of the great Augustinian community again.’

It is great to welcome back Miss Costello!

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.
