Description
Bristol Steiner School is Independent Primary school in Bristol, City of for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Bristol Steiner School is a wonderful setting and one that is both a privilege and a pleasure to serve. Fundamental to the Steiner Waldorf philosophy is the belief in a child-centred, relational approach to learning and a commitment to promoting the development of the whole child. This is embraced and cherished throughout all aspects of life at school, through lived values rooted in the delivery of contextual learning, with true meaning and purpose. This is also characterised through collaborative partnerships, underpinned by a desire to remain true to Steiner Waldorf beliefs, whilst harnessing the best that other educational philosophies have to offer to enhance our practice.At Bristol Steiner School, there is an authentic and tangible sense of community and culture that not only cultivates excellence, but creates a safe environment in which the children can be curious. Opportunities to explore are embedded throughout the curriculum and discretely encourage skills of independence, resilience and respect. Reciprocity is deliberately promoted between children, staff and the interactions that exist between each other. Our children are content, confident and thrive, as a result.
Facilities
Kindergarten
The Kindergarten provides a secure and unhurried setting in which the children can grow and thrive and discover their natural love of learning. Here the children in these early years learn through play and exploration. This is a gentle introduction to school and the wider world.There is a family atmosphere – we see the kindergarten as a second family for the children with small class sizes and a mixed age group where your child is well known, creating a deep sense of security where confidence and social skills thrive.
Primary Years
They believe a child’s educational progress from early childhood to young adulthood is a developmental journey. This journey needs a child-centred approach in which the curriculum and the style of learning reflects the natural stage of the growing child.Knowing your child well is central to our approach to learning. The Class Teacher develops a deep knowledge of the children’s educational, social and emotional needs and nurtures their individual strengths.
