Children Confidence Support
​"The evidence is clear that when students are emotionally and mentally well, they are much more likely to succeed academically. Schools must prioritize the well-being of their students as it is foundational to their academic achievement."

 

Sir Anthony Seldon, educationalist and historian,

in: The Fourth Education Revolution: Will Artificial Intelligence Liberate or Infantilize Humanity? (2018).

ABOUT US
 

Waldorf School Health has been established to support the well-being of children within Waldorf schools and kindergartens in the UK. Our holistic approach is based on anthroposophic insights into developmental processes and principles as well as the latest evidence-based information on child health and well-being. Our focus is on the child. We consider each situation as unique in which the child is seen as individual within the wider educational, social and societal setting.

OUR SERVICES
 

We offer a wide range of services to support children, families and schools. Our mobile holistic school health and well-being support team offers bespoke visits to your school. These are comprised of one-day school doctor visits, followed by a block of therapy sessions for pupils as identified by our interdisciplinary team. For more details, please explore our service information.

​

​

From a one-off consultation with a trained and experienced school doctor, up to regular visits to the schools and kindergartens, tailored assessments and structured support depending on need. We also offer to work with schools to establish and/or support their wellbeing team by providing mentoring and training.  In recognition of the interconnectedness between the child's well-being and their environment, we work closely with parents, teachers and therapists to ensure the child receives the support they need to thrive.
