St Paul's Waldorf School

Teaching through head, heart and hands

St Paul’s Waldorf School provides a dynamic education that supports the development of well-rounded human beings who are resourceful, creative, responsible and curious.

Housed in a beautiful Grade II* listed building in Islington, St Paul’s is an independent, non-selective and non-denominational school for children aged 3-14 years old. We aim to prepare children to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and to develop the problem-solving skills required for a sustainable future, through an education that connects with them in an inspiring and practical way. In this digital age, when facts are so easily accessed, it is creativity, imagination and intuition that set us apart - and this is at the heart of everything we do.

Our values are underpinned by:

COMMUNITY. COMPASSION. CURIOSITY. RESPONSIBILITY

  • In Waldorf Steiner curriculum in the class years, every class will begin their day with main lesson. At St Paul's this runs for the first two hours of the day with the class teacher and is a deep dive into a subject block on a curriculum theme for the year. These blocks will be studied for 3-4 weeks and is a chance for a class to fully immerse in a theme. These blocks range from fairy tales and fables in the younger classes through to astrology and ancient history in middle school. Throughout the year, children create their own main lesson books as a way to synthesise and present their work. These become their textbooks and help give the children ownership of their learning. #StPaulsWaldorf #StPaulsWaldorfSchool #WaldorfEducation #SteinerEducation #WaldorfSchool #SteinerSchool #WaldorfCurriculum #SteinerCurriculum #MainLesson #MainLessonBlock #MainLessonBook #WaldorfLearning #HolisticEducation #ChildLedLearning #ExperientialLearning #CreativeEducation #LearningThroughExperience #WholeChildEducation #EducationWithPurpose #AlternativeEducation #IndependentSchool #PrimaryEducation #MiddleSchool #LondonSchools #LondonEducation #SchoolLife #LearningJourney #CreativeLearning #HandsOnLearning #LoveOfLearning
