About Us

Cardiff Steiner School is a small, dynamic independent Steiner School for children age 3 to 18.

Steiner Waldorf Education is the largest and fastest growing independent school system in the world with 1,150 schools worldwide. It offers an inspiring and nurturing education based on the needs of the whole child – physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual. Our distinctive, international curriculum integrates academic, artistic and practical learning into a rich, balanced education.

We offer the Certificate of Steiner Education (NZCSE) in Upper School. The Certificate is the first trans-national, secondary school qualification to be fully based on the Steiner curriculum. It is a valid, alternative secondary school qualification that allows students to progress to further/higher education free from the pressure of GCSE and A level curricula and examinations.

We are a small school by design, with a collaborative staff team, supportive families and a strong community spirit. Our people are at the heart of our success and we have developed a strong culture of collaboration where staff are valued and your input, enthusiasm and talents will be welcomed and appreciated. You’ll be part of an experienced and diverse team of 26 teaching staff, and benefit from a professional development programme of mentoring, peer observation and training where required.

Cardiff Steiner School is committed to safeguarding children and young people, we expect all applicants to uphold this. All candidates must have suitability to work with children, and post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure Barring Service check.
