Book Week

Posted: 11th March 2022

Stop Everything – Read.

Last week we celebrated Book Week with a feast of literary lusciousness.  We welcomed authors Sylvia Bishop and Sita Brahmachari who ran workshops for our very receptive students and Book Character Day was a triumph of staff and pupils dressing up as their favourite literary characters.  From the works of Beatrix Potter to Roald Dahl to J K Rowling, characters came to life in the corridors of St Augustine’s Priory!

     

There were quizzes, a ‘stop everything and read’ interlude, a book swap for staff and a book fair, where each pupils had the opportunity to purchase books and members of staff visited the Preps to read to the children.

From the Nursery to Priory Sixth to staff, this was a wonderful week to enjoy and celebrate the written word.

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.
