Planning Permission May 2010 |
|
". . . the centre
Where we dance, where we play,
Where life is still asleep"
R. S. Thomas
This week we received good news at the Planning Committee in Hereford. Our application for the landscape development plan has been approved and this means that we have permission to change the use of the land from agricultural use to educational use. The permission has been a long time in the making and it's thanks to members of our team - in particular our architect, John Renshaw - who showed resilience, patience and optimism in achieving this positive step forward. In practical terms, what this means is that we can add the following elements to our developing school-site:
- class gardens and landscaping, including tree-planting
- a drainage system based natural filtration
- a multi-use games area (MUGA)
- a footpath and cycle path
- a lay-by at the bus-stop
- improvements to the lane
- a car-park in the South Field
By developing these measures we can enhance the natural and human environments, while relieving pressure on traffic circulation, both at the school and in the village. More importantly we can provide a greater degree of safety for our children and we can achieve a precious and long-held aim - to offer, in the words of the Welsh poet, RS Thomas, a place where children can dance and play; a meadow and a garden, where life is still asleep. In the years ahead, we look forward to being able to share these amenities with our neighbours in the village.

The Academy is partner in a European-funded Comenius School Partnership Project to research and design a European Portfolio Certificate. The ambitious long-term aim of this project is to develop and accredit a European qualification for school-leavers based on the Steiner curriculum and focusing on independent study and project work. The second project meeting was held in Potsdam, a few kilometres outside Berlin. Under grey skies, yet surrounded by the full splendour of a rich autumn tree-scape, colleagues from 13 Steiner schools in 8 European countries gathered to continue their investigations into the design of a common framework for student portfolio work. Alongside discussion of criteria and formats, participants also analysed and reviewed student portfolios from several schools. The next meetings take place next term in Antwerp and Leiden.
