Academic Life

Our sixth form teaching staff are, without exception, highly qualified and experienced subject teachers, experts in their chosen fields, whose passion for their subjects transfers to the students they are working with.  Our outstanding results are testament to the knowledge and dedication of our teachers and pupils. Small, intimate teaching groups for A Level classes enable teachers to provide a bespoke and individualised teaching environment whilst also preparing students for higher education, emulating the seminar-style teaching of universities.  We maintain the highest expectations for our students and expect each student to hold themselves to these too; independent study, intellectual curiosity and engagement are all crucial components for A Level (and lifelong) success.

Priory Sixth benefit from a well equipped, separate sixth form study area which incorporates space for private study and collaborative group work, encompassing all students’ needs.  In addition, our students have access to an excellent range of carefully chosen journals and publications to support them in their studies.

In addition to choosing from a wide range of A Level courses, many students also opt to undertake the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).  This encourages students to pursue their interests beyond the curriculum as well as developing crucial skills including research, analytical writing and presentation.

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.
