Climbing to Success

A Prep Playground Extraordinaire.

The Easter holidays saw an amazing transformation of our Prep Playground.  Some wonderful additions had appeared by the first day of the Summer Term and everyone was very excited to experiment and explore.

  

  

With a Greek amphitheatre, a climbing wall, a waterplay area, a mud kitchen, a sensory garden which includes a textured wheel (not forgetting St Monica’s waiting area for parents – St Monica was the mother of our St Augustine and is the patron saint of patience!) this is a Prep Playground which will enthral and be enjoyed for years to come.

  

 

This is an incredible outdoor learning environment for everyone and we are already seeing some amazing performances, mud work and climbing!

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.
