Priory 6 finalists

The ICAEW BASE Challenge.

We reported back in March how pupils in Lower VI took part in the BASE challenge organised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).  They worked in groups of three to four to solve online problems put together presentations in response to case studies they researched.

We are now delighted to announce that one of our teams has achieved a place at the BASE National Final.  Congratulations to the winning team of Mia, Melissa and Sofia who will now go on to compete in the final.

BASE is the ICAEW’s national business and accounting competition for 16-17 year olds across the UK and was an exciting experience for all our teams who took part.

The email from ICAEW said: ‘We received a large number of applicants this year and the standard of entries was particularly high. It is a fantastic achievement to reach the final and all your students should be very proud of their hard work.’

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.
