Creating Space

10th September 2021

Our theme for this year. St Augustine’s Priory delights in having over twelve acres of grounds and pupils and staff make good use of them throughout the year.  These grounds give our pupils space to grow, learn and play, space to be themselves and space to care – for the environment and for each other….

Mr J Philpott. We are delighted to welcome Mr Philpott to St Augustine’s Priory who this year joins us as our new Bursar and Clerk to the Governors. A conflict arose in his youth as, born in Bristol and raised in Bath, he was spoilt for choice when deciding which rugby team to support.  He…

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.

Join us for one of our upcoming Open Days! You can book your visit via the Admissions section of our website.
