Saint Augustine's Priory School
Education for Life
St Augustine's Priory has a very active and supportive Parents' Association which raises money for many different aspects of school life such as; extra equipment, like tents and cooking gear for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, computer software for the music department, or improvements to drama and sporting facilities.
These fundraisers are often social occasions that provide a wonderful opportunity for parents, staff, pupils, family and friends to get together informally.
Watch this space for details of forthcoming events, and how you might be able to get involved....
Our annual School Sports Day offers the chance to support our girls' sporting endeavours, whilst enjoying a picnic, a glass of PIMMS or treats from the barbeque in the grounds. Further details will be sent to parents shortly.
Following the sell-out success of our 'Sparkling Summer Ball' in 2007, we are planning our 'Bollywood Ball' at Ealing Cricket Club on Friday 4th July 2008. Your last chance to buy tickets priced £50 each (or available in tables of ten). Please telephone the School Office on 020 8997 2022 for more information.
Date and details will be posted here as soon as possible.
This 1920s Egyptian inspired murder mystery sold out on both nights, raising over £2,700.00 for the Drama Department.
The whole School thoroughly enjoyed the annual Christmas Fayre, with the Hall and Refectories looking as magnificent as ever and with the many games, stalls, gifts and foods on offer. Our Young Enterprise team offered digitally personalised Calendars for sale, and did a roaring trade, which will have kick started their business profits in 2008. The Fayre raised a total of £2,117.70
Did you Dust off your dinner jacket and remove the spiders from your dancing shoes? Were you one of the 270 guests who enjoyed the Sparkling Summer Ball, which sold out within a matter of day.

Congratulations to all those involved and our thanks for coming; for your support; for your generous donations and especially to the organisers for taking such a dynamic leap.
Quiz Night 2007 was a "holy" successful event. The theme was "Saints" with each table featuring a Saint familiar to anyone who has walked the halls of St Augustine's. Teams of parents, staff and supporters tested their general knowledge and competed for the ultimate prize - supper. The event raised over £1,500 for School equipment.
Every year the School Hall is transformed into a magical grotto, filled with games to try and stalls brimming with Christmas gifts, cards, cakes and treats - all presided over by Father Christmas in his sleigh.
We welcomed over 700 guests to our extensive grounds, to enjoy the fine weather, games, stalls, delicious food and, of course, the spectacular fireworks set to music. This wonderful evening raised over £4,500 - contributing to a new netball court.
In addition to these events, there are also regular uniform sales at the end of each Term where items of School uniform are sold at a fraction of the usual cost. The next Sale is on Saturday 15th March 2008 at 9.30am.
The Parents’ Association also established a regular newsletter, Priorities, sharing the highlights of the month at St Augustine's Priory.
The Headmistress and staff of St Augustine’s Priory thank the
Parents’ Association for their invaluable support and enthusiasm.
