Welcome to the Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship website

The Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship

The SWSF is a membership organisation for all the Steiner schools and independent Steiner Early Years settings in the UK and Ireland.

As such, we seek to safeguard the Steiner ethos and to serve the interests of our members, as well as to represent and further the relevance of Steiner education in the wider education debate.

There are now over 1,000 schools, 2,000 early years’ settings in more than 60 countries.

The SWSF is opposed to all forms of discrimination against any person or group of people on the grounds of race, gender, faith, disability, age and sexual orientation and is committed to promoting equality of opportunity and reflecting the diversity of the children, staff and parents served by Steiner schools. We also reject any racism stated or implied in any of Rudolf Steiner's speeches and writings (dating from the mid-1880s to his death in 1925).
