Ofsted Inspections:
Cambridge Steiner School on the Ofsted website, including Ofsted inspection report(s).
Quotes from the 2008 Ofsted report:
"The school provides good quality education."
"Parents are generally very pleased with the school, and the good quality education it
provides. They say, for example, I have always felt I couldnt have made a better
decision about my sons education and He is seen as a unique individual invested
with skills, talents and abilities which the staff value as much as his academic skills
and progress."
"The childrens personal development, including their spiritual, moral, social and
cultural development, is good. This is a reflection of the emphasis placed on this
area by the Steiner-Waldorf philosophy and the schools good practice in
implementing it. From their first days in the Kindergarten, children develop good
moral and social skills."
The 2008 Ofsted report specified a number of areas where our School did not meet regulatory requirements, particulary Health & Saefty and suitability of proprietor and staff. We believe all of these requirements were addressed and met in the summer of 2008. We look forward to the next inspection by Ofsted and subsequent report.
