Prep III writers and researchers

Posted: 2nd July 2020

Tumultuous times in history.  

This term has not seen the grass grow under Prep III’s feet.  Mrs Lubowiecka reports that they have spent an intellectually stimulating time in their History and R.E. lessons via blended learning.  She says, ‘Prep III are learning about another difficult time the people of London endured – the Great Fire in 1666. They chose to write a newspaper report or a diary entry – just as Samuel Pepys did. I am delighted with their work and so proud of them!’

Here is an example of a diary entry and a newspaper report of this tumultuous time in London’s history!

Prep III have also been learning about the apostles, the first Christians and the birth of the Church.  Mrs Lubowiecka reports, ‘Prep III had a ‘big task’ for the first two weeks of this half term – to ‘train to become an apostle’ by finding out about the life of Jesus so they could spread the Good News about him to others’. 

Here is another example of the great work that Prep III have undertaken this term!

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.
