Vision & Values
Our values are at the core of everything we do. We aim to provide our children with all they need to navigate the world they live in, as happy and successful children, young people and eventually adults. Our values underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. Although rooted in Christian teaching, the values are also important to other faiths and cultures within our school community including those with no faith.
At St Augustine's School we have ten school Values. Each month, we focus on one Value. Classes hold an assembly at the start of each month to re-introduce the Value. This Value then becomes the main focus for the month and the children are constantly reminded how they can show these in their everyday lives. At the end of each week children are chosen from each class that have shown the best example of this Value. We also ensure that children get at a thorough understanding of what each value really means through our PSHE and RE curriculum.
Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Trust
Mater Ecclesiae is one of three Catholic Multi Academy Trusts (CMATs) formed by the Diocese of Lancaster to protect, preserve, nourish and enhance the Catholic religion through the establishment, maintenance and development of Catholic schools.
Mater Ecclesiae was formed in 2022 and currently consists of seven Catholic primary schools and one Catholic secondary school. In geographical terms, the Trust extends across Preston and rural Preston and all are within the local authority area of Lancashire. We currently have 287 staff and educate over 2,200 children and young people in our care. Our head office is located in Fulwood, Preston.
Curriculum Enrichment
At our school, we believe every child deserves a curriculum that not only teaches knowledge and skills but inspires curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We are committed to providing rich and varied experiences that extend beyond the classroom, ensuring all pupils have access to meaningful and memorable opportunities.
Our curriculum is enriched through educational visits, themed days, outdoor learning, and partnerships with local organisations aiming to bring learning to life for our children. We celebrate diversity through events such as Diwali, Chinese New Year, Black History Month, and World Book Day, and promote global awareness through language days, international food tasting, and projects exploring world cultures.
