Lower IV linguists

Búsqueda de tesoros.

Mlle Gandi, Modern Languages Department, tells us of the work Lower IV have been conducting in Spanish, ‘Lower IV have been learning about sports in Spanish this week and they have been exceptionally engaged in class. One of the activities was a treasure hunt, a ‘Búsqueda de tesoros’. In Ms De Lahitte’s group, the girls who were in school (Yasmine and Shriya) joined in with acting out playing those sports – and even scored!’

In the hunt the girls learning from home were given three minutes to bring as many of the following objects and show them to the camera.

  1. una pelota de baloncesto (a basketball)
  2. un palo de hockey (a hockey stick)
  3. una gorra de natación (a swimming cap)
  4. una pelota de fútbol (a football)
  5. Una raqueta de tenis

The pictures show how successful they were!

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.
