Racial Justice Equality and Diversity.

We are pleased to announce that St Augustine’s Priory is participating in the Diocese of Westminster Education Service Racial Justice Equality and Diversity Continuing Professional Development online courses.

These courses aim to ‘Educate, inform and inspire participants so they can actively work to achieve racial justice and equality in their communities’.  For the academic year 2021 – 2022 the following sessions are scheduled:  ‘Unconscious Bias’ and ‘Racial Justice, Equality and Diversity in Sacred Scripture’ will take place in the Autumn.   In Spring 2022 the sessions are on, ‘Diversifying, decolonising and inclusivising the curriculum’ and ‘Rethinking the curriculum:  Schools Workshop’, while the academic year ends in the Summer of 2022 with sessions on, ‘Challenging Racial Injustice in the Church’ and ‘Solidarity in the Face of Adversity:  To Develop Advocacy in Schools for Racial Justice, Equality and Diversity’.

Staff attending these courses will ensure that they feedback to all colleagues on what is discussed at these sessions.

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.
