Just a quick note to say how happy I am that. following years of negotiations with the government, on Monday, the Hereford Waldorf School became the Steiner Academy Hereford – the first Steiner school in the UK to be funded by the government.
I went to the Steiner school (also known as the Hereford Waldorf School) from the age of 7 to 16, as did my sister. Dad taught there for a few years but had to leave due to financial difficulties – with no state funding teachers could only be paid in peanuts (as my older sister knows only too well – she’s just completed 8 years as a teacher at the Bristol school).
Steiner schools are becoming increasingly popular in Japan – a very good thing if one considers the pressures that students are under in the state system.
