Our Stories

“Epic founding story …. Feisty but no nonsense…. Sound of Music meets Les Mis”.
We fully agree with the Good Schools Guide because so much of founding story resonates with our current story. It is why we set such store by telling the stories of our community whether through the weekly Priory Post or Headteacher’s blog. Here you find our soul, our reflective nature and our love of a community event involving some joy and hilarity. Browse and capture the flavour of all we do.
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.
