A Blast from the Past

Many thanks to all the parents who brought along their children for the evening performance of our school concert onThursday evening.  The school community appreciates that it was a big ask and that our younger children were later getting to bed on Thursday night. We thank you for all your support.   We hope you enjoyed Thursday evenings performances, even with our now traditional technical hitch! Below is a slideshow that has captured the magic of the performances from pupils across the school.  We are very fortunate to have so many  wonderfully talented children at St.Augustine’s School.
