Elmfield Rudolf Steiner School

We received such a warm welcome at this place during our summer residential. The school teachers we met were so caring, and involved in our process. The conversations were much more broad spanning than the topics they were teaching. Very insightful people. Can't wait to go back. :)

A wonderful school that allows children to be children, develops their potential and encourages individuality and self-confidence. Children receive a good, broad education and both the curriculum and timetabling are structured around the developmental needs of the age group. The ethos of the school is about Community - nurturing, sharing, respecting and caring for everyone regardless of age, ability, social background, creed or colour. We got our daughter back when she joined Elmfield; she has grown into the most wonderful young woman over the years and she dreads the day when she will have to leave. Our son loves Elmfield for very different reasons to his big sister! The Steiner system is perhaps not for everyone, but I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone willing to take the leap of faith into a gentle, holistic and innovative approach to education. You won't regret it!
