More about us
“Most people say that it is the intellect that makes a great scientist. They are wrong; it is character.’’
– Albert Einstein
Nurturing Psychological Well-being
We understand that true education goes beyond the classroom. That’s why Nant-y-Cwm prioritises the emotional and psychological health of our students. Our education model respects and honours the natural rhythms and stages of childhood ensuring that students are neither overwhelmed nor left behind. By providing a supportive and nurturing environment, we help children develop self-confidence, resilience, and a positive sense of self.
Preparing for the Future
In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the value of a Steiner-Waldorf education is more relevant than ever. While AI can store and retrieve vast amounts of information, it cannot replicate the uniquely human qualities of critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence. At Nant-y-Cwm, we focus on developing these essential skills, ensuring that our students are not just prepared to compete in an unknown future, but to lead and innovate in it.
” I joined the class 5 & 6 children on a school trip, and I was absolutely blown away by them.
They were so calm and confident, yet polite and engaged. They listened intently to [the teachers] wisdom, and had so much input themselves, it was more like an exchange of ideas.
All the children were happily offering up their thoughts, not scared to make a mistake or get something wrong. I realised that over the few hours I had spent with them, I had not heard a child mock or embarrass another. This was quite a shock to me, coming from a mainstream background myself, where mockery disguised as ‘banter’ was a main theme.
I realised these children weren’t scared to be themselves.
The environment they learn in is so healthy and respectful, they could fully drop into learning and contributing. Well done teacher Lucy, these children are a credit to you and Nant-y-Cwm. ”
