Drumduan is a modern and progressive Steiner School located in the beautiful North-East of Scotland overlooking Findhorn Bay and the Moray Firth. With an emphasis on experiential education, nature connection, and the creativity that flows from children being given the space to develop in a low technology school environment. The School currently has 105 students from Kindergarten to Class 12 in the Upper School and 38 teaching and non-teaching staff.

Our School operates with a collective decision-making structure, the Core Group of staff, at its centre. The Core Group aims to coordinate the running of the school in order to best support its pedagogical purpose and with heed to its financial sustainability.

In addition, there is a School Development Group (SDG) that is formed to hold fundraising initiatives together with the Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA). The SDG also looks at the sustainability development of the school and is held by a group of parent volunteers.

The experience of the child in kindergarten during the years when they are most open to the world around them lays the foundation for healthy development and a sound education throughout the subsequent years.

The kindergarten years are regarded as the basis upon which Steiner education is built.

The Kindergarten Assistant should be a role model worthy of imitation by the children in their care.

The Kindergarten Assistant will work alongside other Kindergarten Assistants and Kindergarten Teachers in their work to help maintain a healthy, tidy and harmonious working environment and atmosphere.

The Afternoon Care Practitioner will work together with the Lead Practitioner to create a warm and welcoming environment where the children can experience a gentle and restful afternoon after a busy morning at Kindergarten and School. A home-from-home feeling after their busy day where they can unwind from the structures of their more formal education by providing free movement between indoor and outdoor play, a loose rhythm of lunch and story time and the offer of joining in with crafts, campfire making, tree climbing and den building. To strive toward creating and maintaining a healthy, tidy and harmonious working environment and atmosphere.
