We are looking forward to a fantastic year full of learning, fun, and friendship as we grow in faith together. Thank you for your continued support, and we are excited to see your child thrive in Year 2!
In order to be ready…
PE will take place every Monday and Wednesday, so please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on those days. It’s important for everyone to participate in these active and fun lessons!
For reading, Rhino Reader books will be changed every Monday. Please remember to return the books on time to keep up with our reading progress. For those using Accelerated Reader, books will be changed once the quiz has been completed, so encourage your child to finish their quiz when they’re ready.

At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
