A new collection of poetry.

Head of English, Mr Elder, needs no introduction and his books of poetry likewise are well-known.  Following on from ‘Codes of Conduct’ and ‘The space between us’, his new collection, ‘Like This’ was published in August by 4Word Press.  Written over the past two years Mr Elder writes that, ‘The constant, throughout what I write, is the exploration of what lies between what we think we know about ourselves and others, and what we actually know’.

  

This is a collection of delicate and subtle poems on the human condition, a delight to read and re-read.

‘Like This’ is available to buy at a cost of £5.99 per copy.

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.
