We value innovation and draw on the rich heritage of Steiner Education, whilst enabling teachers to enhance their professional practice by incorporating contemperary educational approaches and developments.

     

    Our diverse and multi-lingual teaching team includes subject teachers in Music, Handwork, Spanish, Games, Woodwork and Forest School.

     

    We are a small school by design, with a dedicated staff team, supportive families and a strong community spirit. Our teachers are at the heart of our success and we have developed a strong culture of collaboration where staff are valued and your input, enthusiasm and talents will be welcomed, appreciated and developed.

  • About Bristol

    Bristol is located about 120 miles (190 km) west of London at the confluence of the Rivers Avon and Frome. Just west of the city, the Avon flows into the estuary of the River Severn, which itself empties into the Bristol Channel of the Atlantic Ocean, about 8 miles to the northwest. Within easy reach of most places in the UK (we’re just 1.5 hours from London by rail or road). Residents enjoy all the benefits of a cosmopolitan city (prominent universities, a world-class opera company and thriving arts community) combined with a small-town friendliness, -and we’re surrounded by some of the most stunning countryside.
