Greenwich Waldorf School in detail

Greenwich Waldorf School in its own words

In its own words: "We believe every day at school should be joyful. Our days begin promptly from 8.20am and are structured to support each age development - academically, emotionally and physically. The structure of our day and our approach to teaching is based on contemporary Waldorf pedagogy, educational research coupled with an expert understanding of child psychology, learning and behaviour."

The school runs a breakfast club from 7:30am and after-school care until 5:00pm, from £12 per session.
