St Augustine’s Catholic Academy is a happy school. We are a Catholic community with our mission firmly based on the teaching of Jesus. We offer a supportive environment and a school ethos where love and service are modelled in the way we serve and learn together.

We have high expectations in every aspect of school life. It is our vision for every child to be happy, caring and responsible; to develop a lifelong passion for learning, to maximise their learning potential and be prepared for the challenges of the 21st Century.

Furthermore, we want to ensure that our children at St Augustine’s, from the youngest in Nursery to the oldest in Year 6 are recognised for 2 important things:

• The quality of their work
• The quality of their character

(Ron Berger-Ethic of Excellence 2003)

Our school vision statement encapsulates our school mission:

‘Learning To Serve, Loving To Learn.’

Our Academy is situated in Mapperley which is 3 miles from Nottingham City Centre. The school has 327 children on roll with a separate Foundation Stage Unit attached to the school.

The Catholic Life of the school was deemed to be outstanding in the Diocesan Inspection and all aspects of the school’s life are firmly grounded in the Gospel Values and the teachings of the Church.

We would love you to come and see what makes our school so special and learn more about our vision.

To make an appointment for a tour of the school and to find out what it’s like at St Augustine’s, please email me.

We look forward to welcoming you.

We believe that each person is made in the image and likeness of God, and is called to develop their full potential throughout their life, and so serve God and the common good.

Rooted in Jesus Christ, inspired by the values of his Gospel of love, forgiveness, courage, justice, compassion and hope, and in accordance with the teaching of the Catholic Church, St Augustine’s Academy will ensure that this vision is at the centre of all that we do by achieving the highest possible standards in everything we do.

St Augustine’s Academy will:

• Nurture our pupils and help them to develop their God-given potential so that they can live life to the full
• Value each and every pupil for who they are, and help them to grow spiritually, morally, socially and academically
• Provide a welcoming environment in which every child can feel at home – happy, safe, confident and cared-for
• Place the values of the Gospel at the heart of the Academy’s life in the celebration of Mass, prayers, relationships and curriculum
• Strive to ensure every pupil achieves the highest possible standards taking into account their ability and individual needs
• Foster tolerance and understanding in relation to the many faiths and cultures which make up our society
