Our annual Carol Service took place on Tuesday 10th December, and visitors enjoyed an evening of carols, musical performances and readings. 

This year, the service offered the chance to reflect on the reality faced by refugees and those seeking asylum throughout the world. We were humbled to have in school a Lampedusa Cross, made from pieces of a boat that was wrecked on 11 October, 2013 off the coast of Lampedusa, Italy. Over 300 Eritrean and Somali refugees were drowned en-route from Libya to Europe, whilst the inhabitants of the island helped to save the lives of 155 others.
Moved by the plight of those involved, the island carpenter, Mr Tuccio, began to craft crosses from the wreckage and gave them to survivors - as a reflection of their salvation from the sea and hope for the future.

Over 250 members of our school community joined together to reflect, pray, listen and enjoy the season of Advent; whilst looking forward to Christmas. Special thanks to our Choir and Band, as well as the Music and Chaplaincy departments and Fr David Yates of English Martyrs, Whalley.  

Photographs from the service can be viewed here.

Nut-Free School

Our school community has made a commitment to be a nut-free school for the safety and health of our students. Although we recognise that we cannot guarantee an environment that is completely free from any allergen, we believe that a nut free policy minimises the risk for pupils with nut allergies.

Food allergies can be fatal. Reactions can range from an irritating rash to life-threatening anaphylaxis, and it only requires a small amount of the allergen to set off symptoms. Click here for more information about anaphylaxis.

First aid staff in the school are trained to use Epi-pens (an injection of adrenalin) which are required immediately if there is a serious reaction. However, to minimise the risk of an allergic reaction we cannot have nuts in school in any form.

We need every student, teacher and parent to help us make St Augustine’s a safer place for students who have food allergies.

So please do not put any nut products in your child’s lunch box.

We also cannot allow items such as Celebrations, Quality Street, Roses or Heroes as these include peanuts, hazelnuts and coconut in some of the selections.

There are many other products that can present a risk, so please look at the ingredients list of products closely. We appreciate that this is an additional thing to check but we know that you will recognise the importance of creating a safe environment.

St. Augustine’s school is an inclusive school where each student is valued. We respect the needs of ALL of our students, including those with allergies. Our nut-free policy allows students with food allergies to enjoy classroom and lunch time with their fellow students.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.
