The Academy Day

Please note that ‘Class 1’ equates to ‘Year 2’ in English mainstream schools, ‘Class 2’ to ‘Year 3’, etc.

The start and end of the day during Covid restrictions

During Covid restrictions, the start of the day has been changed. The school opens at 8.30am and the back gates are manned. Children then go straight to their classrooms.

End of the day during Covid

The end of the day has been staggered, as part of our Covid procedures. On longer days, Class 1 leaves at 3.15pm, Class 2 at 3.20pm and Class 3 at 3.25pm. After this, any pupil who has not been collected, will be taken to Reception.  If you are going to be late collecting your child, please contact Reception. We would urge parents to be punctual when collecting children, especially following an after-school activity.

Why is full-time school introduced gradually?

At the Steiner Academy we recognise the benefits for some children in gradually increasing hours at school through Classes 1 to 3, rather than full days from the outset.   We believe that the learning experience will be tiring for young children and the benefits of the Steiner curriculum are maximised when young children have sufficient time to play.  In Kindergarten and on short days in Lower School, the mornings are marked as two sessions divided by a 30 minute break during which a wholesome meal or snack is provided.

The School Year

As an Academy we are required to hold 358 teaching sessions per annum which is equivalent to 179 school days.

 

 

Start and end of the day before Covid

The school opens at 8.15am.  The Egg playground is supervised from this time.  At the end of the day, any pupil who has not been collected, will be taken to Reception.  If you are going to be late collecting your child, please contact Reception. We would urge parents to be punctual when collecting children, especially following an after-school club.

Inspired by Rudolf Steiner

Steiner School is a collective mark of the Steiner Waldorf School Fellowship.

“The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility. These are the three forces which are the very nerve of education.”
Rudolf Steiner
