Parent Conversations

We treasure our relationships with parents and carers and we work hard to set up ways in which we can work in partnership with you. One of the ways we do this is by holding regular Parent Conversations. These take a varied format – sometimes we will present aspects of teaching and learning or information about transition points followed by a chance for dialogue about experiences. It is always joyful to hear parents with older children who can share their experience with other parents. We know that being connected is one route to well-being and we run these sessions to help you feel connected with us and each other.

At other times we welcome external speakers with the same opportunity for conversations to follow. When these are about potentially highly charged topics, like drugs, FGM, Sex Education we find that this very open approach allows us all to journey together. If we want to set up the best possible safeguarding culture we have to find ways together in which we help our children to tell their stories. These conversations help us to do this in a powerful way.

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.
