Coffee and Cakes

Raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support

From Lower IV Alpha’s Assembly until the end of Little Break, Lower IV Alpha and Priory 6 delivered a tremendous morning of coffee, cakes and awareness raising on Friday 29th September, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support through the ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’.  Our first visitors were parents who enjoyed a cup of coffee (or tea) ate cake and stayed to catch up with friends.

Our second tranche of Macmillan supporters were the pupils who descended on the Pupils’ Refectory in Little Break and did their best to help by eating all the wonderful contributions people had been very generous in donating.  Bhakti Patel, Upper VI, commented, ‘So many people brought in cakes – pupils, parents and staff’.  The array on offer was wonderful, from cup cakes to sponge cakes, from chocolate cakes to doughnuts – the event was cake heaven!

We are pleased to announce that this successful event raised a tremendous £491.00 for Macmillan Cancer Support.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to the day and supported this very worthwhile cause.

One of our guests was a father who, although feigning reluctance about attending, said ‘we are supporting a good cause and supporting the school community’.  He added, ‘I hope all fathers and male teachers remember that November is Movember – an opportunity to grow a beard or moustache, raise funds and support men’s health.’  Visit https://uk.movember.com/ to find out more.

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.
