It is a real gift from the staff to the children and a wonder to see this Medieval retelling play out in the middle of busy London. Though it is always a delight to discover who will play which part this year, we all know that the real star is the donkey with his sheep friends.

It is with real regret that his busy schedule on the Nativity circuit means that he only has time for us on Thursday, 11th December. We have decided to adapt to this circumstance and we warmly invite you to the Oberufer Shepherds Play on that date. 

Time: 4pm and 5.15pm
Location: Starting in the yard of the school you will be taken on a journey

Tickets: There are limited number of tickets and please note that the Kindergarten children will have an experience within the Kindergarten day. The afternoon performances are for the school children and their parents.

PLEASE BOOK HERE FOR TICKETS

We look forward to sharing this beautiful tradition with you and hope you can join us for an afternoon of festive joy and community spirit.

Please register your interest in our Stay and Play group by contacting the school at parentandchild@stpaulssteinerschool.org stating: 

Your child’s full name and date of birth, your full name and relationship to the child, your address, a daytime phone number, and which day/s of the week you would be available to attend.

Periods of activity and play are balanced with quieter times for rest, stories and songs. These mornings can be valuable for parents and carers, who come away feeling nurtured and refreshed, as well as giving an introduction to the life of our school and an opportunity to explore the philosophy of Steiner Waldorf education.

Sessions are located a 15-minute walk away from the school with a beautiful garden and indoor space.  The Saturday groups are held at the School.

We have five different groups running  on Mondays to Thursdays and Saturdays during St Paul’s term time. The school calendar can be found here. Each weekday group runs from 9am to 11.00am and Saturday groups are running between 10am and 12pm. Each group has up to 11 children attending. We do not have a “drop in” session, thus families are asked to book a place on their chosen day of the week and pay in advance for a term. This provides a known group for both the children and parents, enabling support and friendships to grow.

I also want to give you some resources that may help you to handle some tough situations at home. In my role as the DSL, it is important to keep you informed of the help available to you. There is an addendum to the Safeguarding and child Protection Policy, which you will find on our website under the Policies section, which will be relevant during periods of lockdown and remote learning.
