Big congratulations to the staff and pupils at Elmfield Rudolf Steiner School on their recent Ofsted report. Inspectors were clearly impressed both with the learning and the warmth of the school, providing an environment where children can flourish.
“Elmfield Rudolf Steiner School is a welcoming, nurturing and tolerant community. Leaders and staff create a culture where pupils feel confident to be themselves. Pupils relish coming to school. They describe the school as ‘one large family’ and enjoy participating in an extensive range of daily activities. These include opportunities in music, crafts, learning about the natural world and much more……
The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders give serious attention to pupils’ social and cultural development, as well as achievement in academic subjects. All of this means that by the time pupils leave the school, they are confident, articulate and well prepared for the future.
Adults and pupils build trusting relationships. Smiles and cheerful interactions are commonplace. Adults take the time to identify and celebrate pupils’ unique strengths. This helps everyone to feel safe and valued.”
