Prep II and Prep III visit Odds Farm

Posted: 28th April 2022

Meeting new friends!

On Tuesday 26th April, Prep II and Prep III visited Odds Farm in Buckinghamshire.  We rejoice in having a farm at St Augustine’s Priory which has sheep, chickens and ducks, but Odds Farm also has goats, cows, pigs and rabbits and a wide variety of sheep breeds.  The implications for cross-curricular learning, involving Geography and Science was a wonderful opportunity for the girls and they enjoyed the day to the full.

 

Miss Algar, Form Teacher for Prep III, had this to say:  ‘Prep II and Prep III girls learned how cows are milked and what we use that milk for. We watched a cow being milked and were even able to give her a little pat. We also had a chance to feed some really hungry goats and sheep. We bottle fed kid goats – they were really hungry! We also petted some rabbits. We had a tractor ride around the farm where we saw all the animals grazing and resting in the fields.’

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.
