Nursery and Preps commemorate

Posted: 9th November 2018

Liturgy in the Prayer Garden.

At 11.00am on Friday 9th November the school bell rang for us all to remember the centenary of the ending of World War I and all those who had died in that and other wars.  Following the two minutes’ silence a liturgy took place in our Prayer Garden comprising people far too young to remember any war but who came to commemorate with the rest of the school.

    

   

Nursery to Prep III pupils had each painted a poppy on a stone and stood holding them as teachers reminded them of the significance of today.  After the reading of a poem, ‘Poppy, Poppy’, and a prayer, each child laid their stone side by side on the flower beds in the Prayer Garden, a beautiful and colourful representation of remembrance.

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.
