School Description

Ringwood Waldorf School is an independent school for 190 boys and girls aged three to eighteen years. The school has identified 33 pupils as having special educational needs (SEN), but there are no pupils with a formal assessment of SEN or an education and care plan. The school aims to provide a Steiner Waldorf education, promoting the fundamental principle of protecting the right to childhood and creative abilities for life. The early years’ provision has received exemptions from aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage and from completing the Early Years Profile. Instead the Steiner profile is used. In common with some other Steiner Waldorf schools, there is no headteacher. Management rests primarily with the Board of Trustees and the College of Teachers, supported by a school administrator. The school is owned by the Trustees of the Ringwood Waldorf School which is no longer part of the Sheiling Trust.
