Sky News visits St Augustine’s Priory

Interviewing on Fitbits

Thursday 21st September saw television cameras at St Augustine’s Priory when Sky News came to interview pupils on the use of Fitbits, the physical activity trackers which track how many steps are taken each day.

Sky News was covering a report by the University of Birmingham (https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/02/fitbit-turns-teens-off-exercising-study-finds/) concerning the use of Fitbits by 13-14 year olds.

They arrived and interviewed several girls from Form III and Lower V who use and wear Fitbits and were happy to help!

This is the third time that Sky News has come to film at St Augustine’s Priory and the producer who interviewed the girls, John-Paul Ford Rojas, was very impressed with how confident and articulate all the girls 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.
