Statement of the school's ethos

Our mission is to educate the whole child in a healthy and balanced manner, developing the physical, emotional and intellectual capacities of each child through an age-appropriate curriculum.

As a non-selective and non-denominational school, we celebrate children of all academic backgrounds and welcome those of every religion and of none.

Nestled on the border of Islington and Hackney, we provide our pupils the opportunity to explore everything London has to offer, from the local Ridley Road Market, to walks on Hampstead Heath. Classes also regularly visit London's iconic museums and historical sights such as the Tate Modern, the Maritime Museum, the Houses of Parliament, and the British Museum.

We offer:

A warm welcome to all children

An alternative education with the development of the whole child at its heart

An educational approach with over 100 years of history

An understanding that education is a journey, not a race

A non-pressured learning environment that allows each child the time and space to progress at their own pace

A curriculum for the heart and hands, as well as the mind, where creativity and imagination are integral to everything we do

An education underpinned by experiential learning

A curriculum centred around respect and reverence for self, others and the environment

An education that nourishes the talents of every child, and encourages individuality

An international community of parents, teachers and students

A central London location, making full use of everything the city has to offer, taking advantage of the amazing resources on our doorstep, including linking up with world-class organisations and institutions

Waldorf is an holistic education with a creative, developmentally appropriate and academically rigorous approach. It aims to develop a child's emotional, spiritual, physical and academic potential equally. We call this 'Head, Heart and Hands' and through this approach we help children to be happy at school and develop the life skills they will need to thrive.

Schools are inclusive and non-selective. An interdisciplinary curriculum uniquely interweaves artistic and physical activities with academic learning including science and maths. Teaching takes into account the distinct stages of child development so that when, how and what children are taught engages with the way they naturally learn. Formal learning starts at age six allowing time for the youngest children to develop through play, imitation and exploration which fosters a sense of wellbeing and emotional resilience. The learning environment is one of warmth, empathy and appreciation which builds confidence without the need for high-stakes testing. In the upper school, a focus on questioning, discussion and research enables Waldorf students to leave school not just with good qualifications but equipped to be creative, curious, collaborative thinkers, strong communicators and imaginative innovators. Waldorf education prepares them for life in the widest sense.
