The sun shone over Nursery Sports Day on Monday 3rd July as parents, staff and girls gathered on the astro-turf to watch our Pre-Prep girls and boys participate in a variety of races with enthusiasm. “Everybody was fantastic” Miss Slight commented, and she was especially pleased with all the boys and girls for cheering each other on with such gusto. Team captains Riley, Anushka, Jessica and Thea led the boys and girls through seven races including hurdles, Balancing Hippo (balancing a toy hippo on a tennis racket), the Flower Watering race and a relay race. Nursery then delighted in watching their parents compete in the Hat and Handbag race and the Star Jump race, before receiving their medals and certificates.
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.
