"Good but some inconsistency"

We've enjoyed many aspects of York Steiner School, such as the festivals and community events. However, we've sometimes found the communication between teachers and parents to be inconsistent. Overall, I think the school's values of kindness and creativity are great, but there's room for improvement.

"A nurturing environment for our child"

We were impressed by the school's focus on hands-on learning and outdoor activities. Our child loved attending the Enquirers' mornings and we appreciated how the teachers encouraged their curiosity. Although we moved away, we still recommend York Steiner School to friends.
