Celebrating International Women’s Day

Posted: 9th March 2022

‘Girls can do anything’.

Mrs Nikolova reports that the Nursery had a wonderful time celebrating International Women’s Day on 8th March.

She says, ‘Nursery had a fabulous International Women’s day. We listened to the story ‘Girls can do anything’.  In addition, we also had a scrumptious afternoon tea with the girls.’

 

The Juniors and Preps also made their presence felt by taking to heart #BreakTheBias.

Break the Bias is this year’s International Women’s Day theme and the Juniors adopted the Break the Bias pose for all to see.  As the website of International Women’s Day says:

‘Imagine a gender equal world.

A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.

A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge women’s equality.

Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.’

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.
