We operate a soft start from 8.40am where children can start coming in to school.

The official start time is 8.55am and the end of the school day is 3.15pm

We have an onsite wrap around care run by staff employed by the school for St Augustine's pupils.  We offer provision from 07.30am to 18.00pm each day.
