We were really lucky to have a visit from Ian the farmer who brought his mobile farm to see us at St Augustine's. We met goats, donkeys, alpacas, rabbits, sheet, guinea pigs, a cockerel and not forgetting Meg the Sheepdog! The weather wasn't very kind to us but we all had an amazing day and enjoyed hot chocolate to warm us up when we went back inside. What a brilliant day!! Here are a few of the photos but there are more on your individual class pages too.  

Our Value this half term is GENEROSITY. We are thinking about what this might mean for us - is it all about material things or how else can we be generous? Can we be generous with our time, our feelings, our resources, gifts and talents to help others? Why not have a go at the sheet of ideas to find out how you you could be generous?can be better at persevering?

Welcome

Welcome to the family of St Augustine’s Church of England School!

I am delighted and privileged to introduce myself as the Headteacher of St Augustine’s CE School. I am really excited to get to know all members of our school community – parents, children, staff and governors. 

Our school is situated in West Central Halifax and serves a local community where children from different faiths, backgrounds and abilities learn, socialise and play together. We          are a church school and embed Christian values into all aspects of school life. Our Christian Values - chosen by the pupils, staff, parents and governors are Friendship, Honesty, Respect and Care. 

This term, we have been revisiting our Curriculum to ensure that it provides high quality learning opportunities, based on the interests and experiences of our children. Through well-planned and sequenced learning, each child will develop their knowledge, skills and individual qualities within a safe and stimulating learning environment.

As staff and governors, we have revisited our vision for the school. Everything that we do has our vision rooted in our children and their needs at the centre. 

Our School is a beacon of hope, where children and adults are respected and flourish individually; where achievement, aspiration are developed and nurtured and confidence built. A caring community where experiences help us learn for life and find our place within the world. 

I hope you enjoy finding out all about the caring school family that I am privileged to lead on our new website. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to come and look around our school or if you require any further information about us.

I look forward to meeting you.

Mrs Ruth Lee
Headteacher
