INTRODUCTORY MORNINGS throughout the year | BOOK YOUR PLACE

9th May

INTRODUCTORY MORNING

9.30am - 12.00pm

Join us for guided tours around our kindergartens and classrooms. See examples of our students' work and chat to parents, staff members and our Upper School pupils.  There will also be a short talk on Waldorf education with a opportunity to have your questions answered.

Early Years

In our Early Years programme, we focus on children's physical and sensory development, emphasizing learning through play and imitation rather than formal instruction. During the first seven years of life, children are closely connected to their surroundings.

Lower School

For eight years of the Lower School, the Class Teacher presents the subjects as they appear in the curriculum at the appropriate stage in the development of the children, so that their inner needs are met and satisfied.

Upper School

Adolescence is a time when individuals develop a sense of self as they grow intellectually and socially. Teenagers refine their judgment and seek to align their ideals with the truths they encounter in nature and society.

Admissions

The school aspires to a non-selective admissions policy and does not discriminate between applicants on grounds of academic ability, gender, disability, race or religion or any other protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Children will be considered for admission in accordance with the school’s Admissions Policy.

International Students

Visiting Students Programme - Living and studying overseas at a young age is a very rich and rewarding experience both for you and for your British classmates. You will be fully integrated into our own classes of native English speaking children and together you will follow the Waldorf curriculum used worldwide.
