Founded in 1973, the Bristol Steiner School is a beacon for parents seeking a human scale school where childhood is valued and in which a lifelong love of learning may grow. The school provides pupils with a modern Steiner based education through a transparent and well-structured learning programme that is challenging but not dominated by the need for academic achievement and the stress of targets and tests. Pupils are part of a community in which they are both known and well-known and can thrive and develop the self-confidence and independence vital for success in today’s world.

To all wishing to come to the Bristol Steiner School Celebration on 13 June

Many thanks to all who have replied and said you will attend this celebration.
We hope it will be a lovely, reflective gathering with many shared memories.

The organisers have now realised that the numbers of those wishing to attend might exceed the 250 allowed in the hall on Redland Green. The regulation about numbers is strictly enforced by the hall owners, and we therefore face something of a quandary.

With our apologies for not making this clear enough, we now need to clarify that booking for this event is essential. If you are passing the word round, please emphasise this point!

We ask that preferably only those who have been directly connected with the school (as children, parents, teachers, staff, founders or trustees) book in for the celebration. The events in the hall will not unfortunately be geared to young children.

For entrance to the hall we are asking a (guideline) fee of £10 to cover costs, cash on the door. Please also bring a contribution to the bring-and-share lunch.

Around the middle of May we will send out a programme for the day to all who have booked in.

With many thanks for your understanding, and looking forward to a lovely celebration

In the early years, how your child feels is just as important as what they learn. 💛

At Bristol Waldorf School, our Kindergarten offers a warm, homelike environment where children learn through play, movement, imagination and meaningful rhythms.
Here’s why families choose Waldorf:

🌿 Unhurried childhood
🎨 Creative, hands-on learning
🧒 Strong social and emotional foundations
🕊️ Screen-free, nature-rich environment
🤝 Loving, consistent relationships with teachers
It's more than a classroom — it’s a place to grow, wonder and belong.
