Silly Summer Stories.

What to do with the summer holidays coming up?  If you are anything like Esinam and Anaya (then in Form III) you will decide to enter a writing competition.  Not only did they enter, they are now published authors!  ‘Silly Summer Stories, An Anthology by Young Authors’ was published in August and contains ‘a collection of stories by talented young authors’.  The publishers, CAAB Publishing, go on to say, ‘Some will be full of adventure, suspense, or just lots of fun’.

Anaya’s story, ‘I’ve Been Saved by Summer’, contrasts a past idyllic summer in the country with a new life in the scorching city.  But hope beckons…

Esinam’s story, ‘Eternal Summer’, on the other hand, takes the form of diary entries and looks back on the fun to be had in the busy city.  Can country life live up to this?

Two contrasting tales dealing with similar themes of adjustment, change and new homes.

Anaya commented, ‘It showed me what I could do as a writer’.  We wish both Esinam and Anaya further success with their writing in the years ahead and look forward to reading some more!

Silly Summer Stories is available from Waterstones at the price of £13.99

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.
