If the answer is yes, then you could be just the person that Bristol Steiner School is looking for.
You will join a team of highly experience and skilled professionals dedicated to making a real difference, as we establish ourselves as the urban village school of choice in the city, with a focus on Human Scale education.
This is an exciting time in the Bristol Steiner School’s journey, having secured a good Ofsted rating and our position as a successful primary school, which promotes Steiner Waldorf as our educational philosophy.
Set in this beautiful, vibrant and diverse city the Bristol Steiner School offers Kindergarten to Class 5 Steiner/Waldorf Education. Founded in 1973, we are built upon the firm foundations of over 50 years of success and experience. We are committed to offering Steiner/Waldorf Education to families seeking a creative yet educationally- focused school, which offers a familiar and personal setting where childhood is valued and education is considered a journey and not a race.
We are inspired to enable pupils to become free, resilient, creative human beings who lead lives of purpose and direction, who encourage independent thought and are respectful of the rights of others.
In our school we prioritise the quality of our relationships with the pupils, their parents and with each other as colleagues and in 2019 the school made a commitment to become an Attachment Aware School.
We are a warm hearted with an irrepressible spirit, who enjoy rising to the challenges and celebrating the joys that our fabulous School brings. 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. We provide our staff with a health plan from 'Simply Health' to help cover additional medical and dental cost.
We are a UK Steiner Waldorf School Fellowship Associate School, and are fully independent.
