STEM Week for Juniors and Preps (Part II)

Posted: 9th July 2021

The Little House of Science workshops.

The last week of June was the STEM Week for Juniors and Preps.  A festival of science, technology, engineering and Mathematics (excellent workshops on Maths called the Subject Revolution – as in previous article).

Mrs Round reports, ‘Several workshops were run by The Little House of Science. Younger year groups learned about ‘Rewilding Nature’ and the impact of humans on ecosystems. They made bee bombs – a mixture of dough and soil filled with wild flower seeds, which they will throw into our wild garden area to let nature do its stuff – better than we humans can do it!

Older year groups studied Green Engineering, and learned about how greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, caused through pollution and agriculture, contribute to global warming.’

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.
