Age 14 - 18 years   At the age of 14 the pupils leave the care of their Class Teacher. A Class Guardian then takes responsibility for the class.The Upper School Teachers are now responsible for the specialist teaching required by the young adults.   The imaginative and artistic approach characteristic of Lower School teaching now turns towards developing critical thinking, objectivity and careful consideration essential in all subjects.   The full Steiner curriculum continues to be taught throughout the Upper School. Pupils may also study for GCSE's sat at age 17, or the 1st year of A-levels at age 18.   Pupils typically go on to local sixth forms, Art or Technical Colleges, with very successful results.   We have established positive links with local schools and our pupils are valued for their high levels of maturity and motivation.
