Lower I explores the past

Posted: 28th February 2020

Romans to the fore!

The new half term began with Lower I travelling to the past and thoroughly enjoying a day which focussed on the Romans.  The Freshwater Theatre Company delivered an exciting day with a Roman television quiz show, ‘Return from the Past’, in the morning, and afternoon workshops.  This company has been delivering educational workshops, shows and storytelling sessions in schools since 1996.

  

Their website states, ‘As one of the largest theatre-in-education companies in the UK, we provide high quality drama workshops and shows to support topics across your entire curriculum or programme. Our workshops encompass history, geography, science, modern foreign languages, maths, literacy, Shakespeare, creative movement, cross-curricular, and PSHE topics.’

    

During the day Lower I met, among others, centurions, a very fine lady, a market stallholder and even Boudicca!  A day well spent in the ancient past.

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.
