St Augustine's C.E. High School
Nearest underground station: Kilburn Park
has been in existence since 1884 when it began life as an all boys' secondary school on the site of our current playground. In 1969, the present buildings were opened on an enlarged site and the school became the mixed comprehensive it still is today. The school has 720 students aged 11 to 18 on roll, offering a wide range of GCSE, GCE 'A' Ievel and AVCE courses.
We are fortunate to have modern, well-equipped buildings, on a site easily accessible by public transport and with small parks adjacent to the School.
St. Augustine's School is a voluntary-aided Church of England Secondary School; this means that we are supported both by the local Education Authority and by the local Diocese. Entry is not, however, restricted to church members. We are a school which serves the whole community and welcomes students from any religious faith or none.
The School became a Specialist College in September 2004. This entitles us to extra resources to trial educational initiatives in Science and Mathematics. There is a specific emphasis on thinking skills, EAL and e-learning. The capital grant has been used to enhance facilities in Science and Mathematics and upgrade the ICT network.
