The St. Austin’s Academy Pre-Primary caters for children from the age of 2 years. It has its own play area and specialist teachers and, in addition, each Pre-Primary class has a Teaching Assistant.

Our purpose-built Nursery was opened in September 2000 and was especially designed to cater for the needs of our youngest students. The class is led by a qualified Teacher with two Teaching Assistants. The Nursery class offers an informal, safe and caring environment where young children can take their first steps at school.

We encourage children to develop socially and emotionally through interaction with their peers.

The aim of the Pre-Primary is to encourage each child to develop his/her own personality and social awareness, with an emphasis on academic achievement in English and Mathematics. Much of the work is done through structured play, focusing on the areas of communication skills, fine motor control skills, gross motor control skills and emotional and social confidence.
