The start of the Michaelmas Term

Posted: 6th September 2019

With St Augustine of Hippo.

‘Flood the path with light,

run our eyes to where the skies are full of promise;

tune our hearts to brave music;

give us the sense of comradeship

with heroes and saints of every age;

and so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage

the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life,

to your honour and glory.’

St Augustine of Hippo

 

We print the above prayer by St Augustine of Hippo, Bishop, theologian and the patron saint of St Augustine’s Priory, to inspire us at the beginning of our new Michaelmas Term.  May the spirit of this prayer accompany us all as we journey through this new academic year.

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.
