Juniors
Our Junior Group is the equivalent to combined Class 7 & 8 in the Steiner Waldorf system or combined First & Second Year in mainstream secondaries.
These two years develop a foundation in Active Learning. Subjects lessons are taught throughout the school year. Main Lessons run in blocks of 3-4 weeks during a 2-hour morning session.
Main Lessons are a fundamental component of the Steiner-Waldorf approach. Main Lessons delve deeper into a subject matter and embrace a varied range of skills, senses and abilities. Each day's lesson is viewed as an integrated whole to the wider curriculum. Purposeful connections are made across subject and between main lesson themes.
Subjects lessons include:
- Art
- Craft
- Drama
- English
- French
