Prep III poets

Posted: 8th July 2020

‘Silly Stuff’.

Poets need to start young!  Prep III have proved this by studying poetry and its forms and then writing their own verse.

Mrs Lubowiecka reports that on Friday 3rd July, ‘Prep III finished their poetry unit ‘Silly Stuff’ for this term.  The girls have been learning about poetic features such as repetition, rhythm, rhyme and alliteration and have written lines and verses for poems we have been studying (these included Tongue Twisters which we had a lot of fun with).

On Friday they wrote their own poems – all the children chose to use a template based on one of the poems we had already explored and Vivian Ryan wrote her own poem, entitled ‘Cake on a Fine China Plate’. 

I am delighted that Vivian used the features we have been learning about – it also makes me yearn for a slice of chocolate cake on a fine china plate, sitting by a lake!’

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.
