GCSE results
At their core, Steiner-Waldorf schools provide a curriculum that focuses on the needs of the whole child, including their academic, physical, emotional and social development. Schools around the world adapt to meet local needs: at Elmfield, we seek to meet these needs for each individual, through subjects that balance artistic, practical and intellectual needs. We teach via engaging and real-world learning experiences, including through thematic blocks (main lessons) and in a holistic and inclusive environment.
This is seen in the preparation for GCSE/iGCSE subjects, for which we spread exams over two years. Students take up to 4 subjects in Class 10 (typically English Language, Mathematics, Spanish and German) and up to 5 subjects in Class 11 (from a range that may include Combined Science, Psychology, English Literature, Fine Art, Drama, Music, History and Geography).
Our students typically go onto local sixth form colleges such as King Edward VI College in Stourbridge, Haybridge Sixth Form in Hagley or Colleges of Higher Education such as Halesowen, Kidderminster and other Colleges.

Pupils, parents and teachers at Elmfield School celebrated another impressive set of GCSE results, continuing to perform better than similar schools and the national picture overall. Our students have been deservedly rewarded for their dedication and hard work.
This time, there were particularly strong results in English, Science and the Humanities (including Art, Music, History and Geography). Maths continues to improve, particularly with the introduction of Further Maths in class 11.
Pupils from last year's class 11 have begun new chapters in their lives at a variety of Colleges and Further Education settings. As Ofsted recently noted: “pupils leave school well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
Commenting on the results, our School Lead remarked: ‘I am delighted for our students that results remain solid, especially as examinations return to pre-pandemic standards. I wish the class of 2024 all the best for the next stage of their academic careers.’
Whilst a full complement of GCSE subjects are successfully delivered at Elmfield, the school offer is about so much more than qualifications. That such results are achieved without any overt exam pressure, nor interminable assessments, is extremely noteworthy.
