Inspection Reports

We are very proud of our most recent inspections where we achieved the highest rating possible in all available categories.   

We were rated “excellent” in both academic achievement and personal development in our ISI inspection report (November 2021). Our most recent Catholic Schools Inspectorate report graded us “outstanding” in all areas (June 2023). 

Inspectors’ comments include the following: 

Pupils demonstrate outstanding attitudes towards their learning and their knowledge… [their] high aspirations are reflected in the places they gain at universities in the UK and overseas. 

Pupils demonstrate an exceptionally good understanding of respect and tolerance for other cultures and those of different faiths and beliefs 

Pupils have excellent levels of self-esteem and self-confidence which enable them to take the school’s core values into the wider world. 

Relationships in school are strong; this is a joyful community. Pupils actively seek ways to support the poor, they care deeply for the planet, are highly ethical and bound by a common code. There is a strong culture of welcome for all pupils. Staff are exemplary role models.  

“Wowed by first visit to St Augustine’s Priory in Ealing. Hidden Gem. Why has no-one told us about this fabulous school before now?”

SOCIETY OF HEADS
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.
