Prep III Scientists

Posted: 6th May 2021

Investigating Habitats.

Mrs Lubowiecka, Form Teacher Prep III, reports on how Prep III have been exploring Science through learning about our environment – both macro and micro!

‘Prep III’s Science topic this half term is Habitats.  They have learnt about ocean, field and woodland habitats and, last Thursday, the girls enjoyed exploring micro-habitats in the school grounds.  They investigated leaf litter, hedges and under logs and examined the creatures they found, using magnifying glasses.  After their discoveries they drew the creatures found in their books.’

This was one of the wonderful ways our grounds contribute to our learning – a true learning environment for all our pupils.

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.
