Dyslexia Awareness Week

Posted: 2nd October 2020

The richness of Neurodiversity.

Mrs Thackray has alerted us to some activities next week to mark Dyslexia Awareness Week, running from 5th – 11th October.  She writes, ‘Next week is Dyslexia Awareness Week and we have arranged some thought-provoking in-class activities for our pupils around the theme of ‘Dyslexia Creates’ and have extended this to include Neurodiversity. Our aim is to raise awareness of Neurodiversity, the diversity of human brains and minds, thus creating better understanding and empathy.  Pupils from Lower I to Upper VI will be completing some activities as well as taking part in ‘Go Red for Dyslexia’ on Friday when red accessories may be worn.’

The British Dyslexia Association has given these links to use in social media:

We are delighted to showcase the wonderful piece of artwork produced by Beatrice in Upper IV to accompany Dyslexia Awareness Week.

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.
