St Augustine’s Catholic Aided Primary School

My brother rents a house on a road next to this school and moved his child to Alderman Bolton school a while back after getting increasingly frustrated at the way St Augustine’s.
He agrees that the smaller perimeter fences were needed to stop children and vandals but the huge side fences are pretty awful and certainly of no use or advantage as the area is only a school car park now. My brother for one doesn’t appreciate seeing them when he leaves his house.
Its a shame that a bad reputation follows places like schools for a long time after they improve.
if the school is now improving that is a very good and overdue thing to happen.
All head good teachers invest time into their schools. its their job and they get paid to do so.

My children attend this school and in the past few years it has gone from strength to strength. It is true that several years ago the school results were poor but these have improved drastically with the most recent year 6 SAT’s being the highest they have ever been. The most recent OFSTED report identified many areas of the school as good or outstanding.
The current head teacher has invested a great deal in the school. The vast majority of the classrooms have been completely refurbished and new equipment purchased, with the remaining classrooms due to be refurbished in the coming months.
The fence around the school might not be the most attractive but it was an essential addition to the school grounds given that before its erection a lot of school funds were been used to repair damage caused by vandals, money that can now be spent on providing a first class education for the children.

Shockingly bad school.
Very poor gradings educationally.
In risk of being shut down if things don’t pick up there.
Disgusting green huge fences built for NO reason as the land is not planned to be used for any ball court purposes in the near or far future.
Disgusting waste of church funds and the parents of the school kids that helped to pay towards the schools funding.
Teachers all jumping off this sinking ship as soon as they are able, parents taking their children out quickly too.
The head teacher is not well liked by staff or parents.
