What subjects are taught?
- Steiner education includes all the recognised subjects of the National Curriculum.
- The school day begins with 'main lesson' which last for two hours. Main
lesson topics from the Steiner schools' curriculum aim to meet the changing
needs of the developing child. Working in an imaginative and artistic way,
the teacher leads the children to learn through doing, feeling and thinking.
Where possible, the content of subject lessons will echo the main lesson theme,
further strengthening the multi-disciplinary approach to learning.
- Other subjects include science, French, arts and crafts, eurythmy (translating
music and speech into movement), games and swimming.
- All children take part in whole class plays, and all the older children
perform in the school choir. Individual music lessons and after-school activities
are available.
- All children go on regular trips - younger children may go out one afternoon
each week. Older children go on trips to support their main lesson learning
and also on summer camps.
