School Description

The Iona School is an independent co-educational day school for pupils aged between three and twelve. It opened in Nottingham in 1985. The school has a separate nursery department for children aged from six months to three and a half years, which is registered with Children’s Services Directorate and had its last inspection in 2005. There is one pupil for whom English is not their first language. In line with normal Steiner practice there is no headteacher, the College of Teachers is responsible for the educational provision. An Associative Leadership made up of teachers, parents and friends manages the school. The administrator is in charge of day-to-day running of the school. The school’s curriculum and teaching are inspired by the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner as expressed through the Steiner Waldorf curriculum: The school believes ‘that education should be a continuing process and our task is to stimulate and develop the faculties and skills, which enable our pupils to learn...for life...from life...throughout life.’ Evaluation of the school The Iona School is successful in meeting its aims. It provides a good quality of education and care, where all pupils are valued as individuals. Through the effective use of the Steiner curriculum, taught well by experienced, knowledgeable and committed staff, pupils make good progress. Parents are very supportive of the school and its success with their children. One parent felt that ‘children are allowed to be children’ and another noted ‘I feel privileged my son attends…this is an absolutely incredible school’. The school meets all but one of the requirements for registration.
