Outstanding Behaviour, Thriving Community: Ringwood Waldorf School Celebrates Ofsted Success

01 Jul 2025

We’re delighted to share the wonderful feedback from our recent Ofsted inspection — and so proud of our entire school community.

“Pupils learn to be thoughtful individuals who contribute to their community and the wider world,” say inspectors. They also praised the “warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils,” calling them “something special.” Staff are attentive, kind, and truly know each child. As a result, pupils feel happy, safe, and proud of their school — and they come to school eager to learn.

At Ringwood Waldorf, we believe that when children feel genuinely seen and cared for, learning becomes more natural. Creativity, curiosity, collaboration, and innovation flourish — essential qualities for life in today’s fast-changing world.

Ofsted highlighted the school’s strong values and ambitious outlook: “The school is aspirational for all pupils and demonstrates an inclusive culture where every child matters. Their vision is shared by the wider school community.”

Inspectors also praised the school's commitment to excellence, saying: “The school is unwavering in its determination to provide the best learning and life experiences for the pupils.”

This report is a wonderful reflection of the care, dedication, and community spirit that imbues the school. “At Ringwood Waldorf, pupils learn to be thoughtful individuals who contribute to their community and the wider world" say Ofsted. That is priase indeed! Many congratulations to the staff, trustees and parents at the school who have worked so hard to receive this recogntion.
