Congratulations to The Steiner Academy Hereford on achieving a Gold Sing Up Award!

Congratulations to The Steiner Academy Hereford on achieving a Gold Sing Up Award!


From your application I could hear that the quality of singing at this school is high, which is a testament to how well singing is embedded into school life. Singing is clearly important to the school and regularly utilised in areas such as teaching the curriculum and celebrating festivals with the broader school community.

The Steiner Academy is obviously very supportive of the pupils and staff singing and leading singing, which is evident in the confidence of the singing and eagerness to share songs with each other. I particularly enjoyed learning about how musical the school is, combining group teaching with bespoke learning in order to meet the needs of individual pupils and provide clear goals and challenge for pupils as they travel through the school.

I would have liked to have heard or seen the lyrics for one of the songs that the pupils had written which you described in your Achieve Form, but it was clear that this was happening and well established in your school

Congratulations again. It was a joy to hear such beautiful a capella singing!

Kind regards,

Peace One Day

Join us at the school for a talk and short presentation from Peace One Day founder Jeremy Gilley.

After a successful career acting in film and television, Jeremy began making his own films in 1995 and in 1999 founded the non-profit film project Peace One Day to document his own efforts to establish the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence with a fixed date.

Why not come to the school to find out more and get involved with the peace process?

Steiner Academy Bristol approved in the last round of 'free school' Applications!

Steiner Academy Bristol approved in the last round of 'free school' Applications!


To open in September 2014, the Academy will be the first inner-city, state-funded Steiner school in the UK and the third Steiner free school to be approved under the ‘free school’ programme. The school will grow slowly, with an opening cohort of 78 pupils (Kindergarten, Class 1 and class 6), rising to two classes every year, with a total of 624 pupils by 2022.

The Academy will make a major contribution to the shortage of school places in Bristol, with demand for opening places in the first two years already up to five times oversubscribed.

The school are currently recruiting for a principal and will be recruiting teachers and other staff in 2014. For more information on admissions and recruitment, see www.steineracademybristol.org.uk or contact info@steineracademybristol.org.uk
