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.
