A Level Geography field visit

Posted: 18th May 2022

Aberystwyth.

From 7th – 10th May the A Level Geography field visit took place.  The remit was to study coastal management in the area around Aberystwyth and the resulting write-up from the field visit will be worth 20% of the A Level marks.

   

The coastline around Aberystwyth is managed and maintained by the Coast Protection Authority, in this case the Ceredigion County Council.  They manage and maintain over 12km of artificial coastal defences, including sea walls, breakwaters, groynes and rock revetments, that protect many of the coastal communities.  This all protects communities and the natural environment from flooding and coastal erosion.

Such an area, teeming with geographical features, is therefore an ideal location for a geography field visit and Mr Chappory, Head of Geography, is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable leader!

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.
