Prep III scientists

Posted: 1st February 2022

Getting ready for Spring.

Although it is only January, Prep III were thinking ahead last week when they visited the Priory Farm.  Miss Algar, Form Teacher Prep III, takes up the story:

‘Prep III had a lovely afternoon in the farmyard on Thursday last week, collecting some soil for our seeds. We planted our seeds that had started to germinate and are now tracking their growth. This forms part of our science topic this term which is all about plants and their growth. Some seeds have already started to show through the soil, and the girls are all really excited about this!’

The pictures show the dedicated Prep III gardeners/scientists digging deep as they conduct their soil collection!

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.
