There is a real sense of belonging to a caring community at St Augustine’s. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They trust staff to look after them and resolve any concerns they may have. Parents and carers appreciate the rounded academic education their children receive. Pupils understand and respect the school’s high expectations of behaviour. They want the school to be a welcoming and friendly place for everyone. Pupils from different year groups choose to play together at breaktime. They are kind and helpful to each other. Their behaviour is also excellent in lessons. Pupils are keen to learn and enjoy the many opportunities to discuss their learning with their ‘talk partners’. They take pride in the work they produce and achieve good outcomes. Whether bringing in food for the harvest collection, talking to a visiting author or attending mass, everyday life in school is varied and interesting for pupils. They appreciate the many ways learning is brought to life through opportunities to meet with visiting experts. For example, they remember lots of important information that they learned when they video-called fictitious Vikings or handled artefacts from the Second World War.
