Head for the Day

Posted: 4th March 2022

Form III pupil shines in her new role.

Friday 25th February was a momentous day for Shanay in Form III.  She won the opportunity to be Head for the Day in a raffle at Christmas and took full advantage of the responsibilities and duties that come with such a position.

Head for the Day and colleagues enjoy lunch in her office.

Mrs Raffray was able to take a step back as Shanay took over and contributed a great deal to the smooth running of the school.  She had several meetings throughout the day and reported that being Head was ‘a lot harder than I thought.  Mrs Raffray makes it look really easy!’

Shanay felt that being Head for the Day was a great opportunity and something which gives different pupils a wonderful experience every year.

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.
