From time to time we have introductory courses in Waldorf Education and parents are asked to attend if they have not previously done so, in order that our methods and expectations can be explained. The school holds one or more big fundraising events during the year. All families are expected to play an active part in these events.

– Should your child require extra/remedial lessons/therapy in the future, this would be an additional cost.
