St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

Can we have an explanation of how the tour will be conducted?

Our wondeful Year 6 children will take you on a tour of our school. 

No prams, babies, or toddlers for the safety of all.  

Masks wearing is personal choice and not mandatory.  

After the tour, you will be shown to our school hall where you will meet Mrs Napier, our Headteacher, and Mrs Blackwell, our Early Years Lead,  who will tell you more about the school and answer any questions you may have. 

If you are shown around when there is no planned tour, it will be with Mrs Napier or a member of the Leadership Team.
