Lower school is entered at age 6 where core subjects are introduced along Steiner educational and non-competitive principles. Children move to the upper school at age 13, where the main inspiration comes from the Forrest Schools movement, Democratic schools and Steiner. There is no formalised testing, or exam setting at any stage of education within the school, and voluntary service on the community is a central part of the approach. Study and core subject learning is enhanced by movement, music, crafts and artistic work, along with outdoor activities.
