I am delighted to welcome you to St. Augustine’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, a school with Catholic education at its heart and Gospel Virtues as its foundation. St. Augustine’s is proud to serve the families of Stamford and the wider community, offering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to grow in faith, knowledge and love.
Our mission is to ensure that each child flourishes spiritually, intellectually and socially. We believe that every pupil is a unique gift from God, entrusted to us by their parents, who are the first educators of their children. Working in partnership with you, we seek to provide the very best education and opportunities for all, so that every child can achieve their full, God-given potential.
St. Augustine’s is a happy and welcoming place where our children are encouraged to aim high in all that they do, developing confidence, curiosity and a love of learning. Through a broad and rich curriculum, rooted in our Catholic ethos, we strive to inspire every child to embrace their gifts and talents and to use them for the good of others.
The Church’s declaration on Christian Education reminds us that ‘Parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children’. With your help, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will endeavour to educate the heart, mind and body of the child you have entrusted to us. The partnership between home and school is at the centre of all we do, and together we lay the foundations for a true and lasting education.
As part of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi Academy Trust, we are committed to excellence in Catholic education and to building a strong, caring community where Christ is at the centre of all we do. We warmly invite you to visit us and experience for yourself the joy, care and dedication that make St. Augustine’s such a special place.
On behalf of our governors, staff and pupils, I welcome you to our school family.
Mrs Jenna Withers
Executive Headteacher
