The distinct aims and Christian values of St Augustine’s C of E Primary School underpin every aspect of school life. We instill the idea of courageous advocacy within our pupils enabling them to develop a greater awareness of the challenges others face in life and the role they play as individual advocates to support causes and make a difference.
SALFORD FOODBANK
HELPING LOCAL PEOPLE IN CRISIS
St Augustine’s have supported Salford Foodbank over the years, mainly through Harvest Festivals. Pupils across school donated tins, cereals and biscuits. Salford foodbank help people in crisis and need of food in the local area.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public – that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three-day supply of food. We have a shopping list of standard items that go in our food parcels.
In December we all wore Christmas Jumpers – we raised £200 for the Salford Foodbank.
Through the generosity of our parents we also were able to send a food parcel to KidZrus Christmas Food Appeal.
We know things have been difficult this year, but together, we really can make a huge
difference in a time when it’s needed most.
Findings from our recent research show that right now the coronavirus pandemic is
having a huge impact on the mental health and wellbeing of UK children, and for those
who were already facing disadvantages, life has become incredibly difficult.
It has never been more important that we keep funding life changing projects and
charities, providing crucial services for vulnerable children and young people through
this crisis.
Together, with your help, we can support thousands of children and young people and
help change lives.
On Friday 13th November – Please support by sending your donations into school with your child dressed in their pyjamas.
Thank you for your donations – we raised £150.00.

THE FOUNTAINS CARE HOME
St. Augustine’s staff put together a hamper to take round to the care home on behalf of the school.
Our fabulous choir usually go and entertain the residents, unfortunately due to Covid we could not go. However, the pupils and staff still wanted to show our support. So we decided to make them a hamper – snacks, books, games, toiletries to name a few items we put in.
Years 4, 5 and 6 will be writing a small letter to each resident, to put in the hamper as well.
Every year St. Augustine’s support the Royal British Legion by selling poppies and a variety of stationery. The pupils love the different stationery we receive every year. During the 2020 appeal, St. Augustine’s raised £145.24.
