Inclusion and Belonging.

Our schools seek to create communities in which children, families and staff experience a genuine sense of belonging and where differences are understood as a natural part of human life.

We are committed to providing an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory and respectful of all people, regardless of their background, family circumstances, race, ethnicity, culture, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, disability, age or any other protected characteristic.

Waldorf education aims to nurture the development of the whole human being. We seek to help young people develop empathy, curiosity, moral courage and respect for others, enabling them to engage thoughtfully and confidently with an increasingly diverse society.

Our schools work to ensure that children encounter a broad range of cultures, histories, perspectives and life experiences through the curriculum, festivals, literature and wider school life. We believe that all children should be able to see themselves reflected in their education while also learning to understand and appreciate the experiences of others.

We recognise that creating inclusive communities is an ongoing process of learning, reflection and improvement. We continue to develop our practice, resources and training so that all members of our school communities feel welcomed, respected and able to flourish. We do this as part of the statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and wider curriculum in an age and developmentally appropriate way.
