Ringwood
Waldorf School is an independent day-school for boys and girls from the
ages of 3 to 16 years. It has plans to extend to age 18 within
the next four years. There are 4 Kindergartens,
8 Lower/Middle School classes and 2 Upper School classes - around
250 pupils in all - are based in our purpose-built classrooms, with
meadows and a pretty wood nearby where the children can roam and play.
In addition the school also runs several Parent and Child Groups from 6
months. Having grown from just 6 pupils at it’s founding in 1974,
and
coping now with frequent waiting lists for some classes, the success of
the school shows its growing
popularity.
The school is situated just outside the
market town of Ringwood on the Hants/Dorset border. To the east
lie the ancient port of Southampton and the beautiful New Forest; to
the north, the plains of Salisbury and to the south, Bournemouth, Poole
and the sea.
It is one of over 2,000 Steiner Waldorf schools and kindergartens
throughout the world which welcome children from all backgrounds, of
all races and religions, and which actively promote attitudes of
co-operation. We use the International Steiner Waldorf Curriculum which
has been tried and tested worldwide for over 90 years.
As an alternative independent school offering a holistic and healthy
education, it is our endeavour to create a balance of
intellectual, artistic and practical work throughout the day so that
head, heart and hands are all equally involved in the learning process.
By allowing an artistic and practical element to flow into all the
lessons children experience joy in their learning.
Recognising that children feel most secure when parents and teachers
work together, we encourage parents to
come into the school, to take a real interest in the education, and we
offer several parent courses - in these ways, building a strong
community within the
school.
If
you would like to visit please telephone on 01425 472664 to arrange to
attend an Introductory Morning, when you can go into classes and hear a
talk about Waldorf Education, or come to one of our Open Days or other
events to meet teachers, pupils and parents more informally.
