Prep II ‘Sing’

Posted: 8th July 2020

Happiness all round.  

On Tuesday 7th July, Prep II had a full and exciting day at St Augustine’s Priory which started with their Songs and Certificates celebration in the morning in the Chapel, where they were joined by their friends from home.  Songs and Certificates included a rendition of ‘Sing’ and Prep II exhorted us all to:

‘Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don’t worry that it’s not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.’

After this, Mrs Raffray announced the certificates, which were presented to the pupils afterwards.

Following the Songs and Certificates, Prep II enjoyed a picnic in the Prep Meadow and they then completed their day with a tour of the Priory Farm where Mr Raffray guided them round the ducklings, chickens and pigs and Prep II completed their tour with an exploration of the allotment.

Prep II were keenly interested in the crops grown in the allotment, which include courgettes, tomatoes, beans, peas, potatoes, cabbages and sweetcorn and asked Mr Raffray many questions concerning the planting of crops, harvesting and varieties of crops planted.

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.
