Welcome to the website of Calder Valley Steiner Education!

We hope you enjoy using our site, where you can find information about our kindergarten, parent and child groups, and forthcoming events.

Steiner Education is informed by a deep understanding of child development. Our curriculum is driven by this knowledge, allowing each child to unfold at their own pace. We create a space which encourages their social, emotional and physical development while at the same time laying the foundation for subsequent formal education.

Now filled - CVSE Kindergarten Teacher Post for Sept 2011

Due to expanding the provision of Steiner Waldorf Education in the Calder Valley from September 2011 we are looking for a Kindergarten Teacher to join our team of committed staff at this exciting moment as, after 10 years of Early Years provision, we start the first Class of our school at the St. John’s Centre in Cragg Vale. We are situated in a beautiful rural location close to the market town of Hebden Bridge. We are ideally looking for an experienced Kindergarten teacher to join our well- established team. We are in the process of applying for free school status & have a strong body of trustees & parents with whom we are working to achieve this.

Help us become a free school in September 2013

The Steiner Wardolf Curriculum is tried and tested and is part of state funded, mainstream provision in most European countries. It develops a love of learning and an enthusiasm for school, resulting in confident children with diverse capabilities.

We would like this wonderful education to be available to more children. We are therefore applying to the Department for Education to become a Free School under the Government’s new scheme from September 2013. This would mean that there would be no fees for children from age five (younger children receive Nursery Education Funding). As part of our application we need to show there is demand for our school.

To help us, please fill in our survey questionnaire and return it to the address given at the bottom.
