Nursery and Preps mark Remembrance Day

Posted: 11th November 2019

A poignant service.

The Nursery and Preps I, II and III held their own Remembrance service on Friday 8th November in preparation for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.

They all gathered in our Prayer Garden and their teachers explained the significance of these days, after which the pupils said prayers and read poems.

    

Each class had prepared their own giant poppy, made out of their hand prints, and they planted these in the garden and marked a two minute silence after which the Last Post was played.

    

This was a very moving commemoration by children, descendants of the generations who fought in the two world wars.

    

On the anniversary of Armistice Day itself the whole school marked the occasion by a two minute silence honouring those who have given their lives in conflict while flying our new Remembrance Flag high above the school grounds.  May they rest in peace.

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.
