Form III, Lower V and ‘Matilda the Musical’

Posted: 27th September 2019

A visit to the theatre.

Thursday 12th September saw Form III and Lower V visiting the theatre to see the amazing ‘Matilda the Musical’.  Ms Brown, Head of Drama, reports on their experience:

‘Form III had a fantastic evening at Matilda the Musical.  Their behaviour was exemplary. The girls enjoyed socializing together and seeing the award-winning show, which was a brilliant piece of Musical Theatre. Some of us saw the sensational young actor who played Matilda at the stage door afterwards, and the girls were quick to tell her how impressive they found her performance, which was delightful.

  

Lower V GCSE Drama pupils also thoroughly enjoyed the show and will be writing their exam practice paper on its staging.  The joyously rebellious telling of the girl-genius overcoming ignorance is heart-warming. The message that “even if you’re little you can do a lot” is empowering and hopeful.’

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.
