  • BHA BRIEFING: Concerns About the State Funding of Steiner Schools 15 January 2014
    BHA BRIEFING: concerns about the state funding of Steiner schools 15 January 2014 Briefing from the British Humanist Association (BHA) The BHA has a large number of varied concerns about the state funding of Steiner schools. So far there are three such schools (a sponsored Academy and two Free Schools), with a fourth due to open in September. These concerns range from the quality of education provided, to pseudoscience on the curriculum, to homeopathy being given to pupils (which is unique), and at least one of the schools opting out of providing vaccinations (which is extremely unusual). The place of anthroposophy in the schools is consistently misunderstood. The human rights implications of state funded Steiner schools have not been properly considered. Finally, we are concerned that the first two Steiner schools to open did so despite widespread local opposition, and we have reason to believe that the Government’s Free Schools team opposed the establishment of Steiner Free Schools, but were overruled by ministers. How many Steiner schools are there? Steiner schools (known in other countries as Waldorf schools) are based on the works and teachings of Austrian esoterisist and mystic Rudolf Steiner. The first Steiner school opened in Germany in 1919, and globally today there are over 1,000 mainstream Steiner schools, 2,000 kindergartens and almost 650 special needs centres.1 In England Steiner schools fall under the remit of the Steiner-Waldorf Schools Fellowship (SWSF),2 and there are 23 private Steiner schools, all of which include early years provision, 14 further early years providers,3 and five special schools.4 An as-yet unpublished investigation by us has found that 26 nurseries have since 2010 received funding through the Government’s scheme of providing 15 hours a week of free nursery provision to two, three and four year olds.
