Admission
New pupils are accepted into the main
school on the basis of an interview and several trial days, at which we try to gain an all round picture
of the individual child. There is no entrance examination. All successful applicants
are accepted on the basis of a term's trial.
Although admission to the school at the beginning of a term is preferable,
this is not a fixed policy. Admission to the Nursery and Kindergarten is
by interview with the Early Years teachers.
Children joining Elmfield School are allocated to classes by age and
overall development, rather than abiity.
Parents are asked to attend an Open Evening before making an application.
Elmfield Rudolf Steiner School, like all Steiner Waldorf schools in the
UK, receives no subsidy from the state. The
school relies for its running costs entirely on fees and contributions
from its parents.
For further information including a prospectus. fee schedule and
application form and procedure, please phone the School Secretary or e-mail
us with your details.
Students of countries other than the UK are welcome to apply for a place
for a term or longer. See our page on Overseas
Students.
