Hereford Steiner Academy succeeds in bid for EU funding
Wednesday, 06 August 2008
The Hereford Steiner Academy, due to open on 1st September 2008, is one of a group of 12 Steiner schools from 8 European countries – Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Germany, Holland, Norway, Slovenia – to secure EU funding under the multilateral Comenius-School-Partnership-Programme. Two British qualification bodies (ASDAN and NOCN) are included in the bid as associate partners.

There are 650 Steiner schools in the European Area. One issue of shared interest to this network of schools is the challenge of providing accurate and reliable information relating to the programmes of teaching and learning within the schools, that offer an international curriculum framework, while documenting the specific achievements and educational progress of individual students as they leave school.

The funding will extend over two years and partners will seek to research and design a European Portfolio Certificate for students as they complete their time at school.

The first meeting takes place in September, in Potsdam, Germany. At the end of the 2-year project, all project parters will gather in Hereford for one of the final meetings at the Steiner Academy in Much Dewchurch.
 
Ofsted Report
Thursday, 01 May 2008
OfstedWe've recently received the results for the Ofsted inspection carried out on the 17th/18th March.

The report is very positive, and we're particularly pleased with the following observation:

   “The quality of provision for pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding. Pupils generally enjoy school greatly and this is reflected in their good attendance and enthusiastic attitudes. Their moral and social awareness is very good due to the exceptional care taken by teachers to show respect for pupils’ views and provide the space to discuss issues deeply.“

The Ofsted Inspection page can be found here, and a PDF of the full report can be downloaded here.
