Roald Dahl Day

Posted: 17th September 2021

Juniors and Preps celebrate.

The Preps and Juniors celebrated with gusto on Monday 13th September to mark the anniversary of Roald Dahl’s 105th birthday.

Ms Weir, Prep I Teaching Assistant, organised an inspiring paintathon for Prep II and Prep III who spent lunchtime painting a mammoth portrait of The Enormous Crocodile.  This story, first published in 1978 and written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake, was a fitting starting point for Prep II and Prep III’s creativity.

   

Mrs Bhatti, meanwhile, transformed the Junior Library into a magical centre for fans of Roald Dahl, with pictures and posters and dolls and books, all to honour this wonderful author.

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.
