The children are held, encouraged and supported so beautifully right from kindergarten all the way up. The wonderful thing about Michael Hall is that the children are allowed to grow at their own pace, without pressure or competition, that there is just as much importance placed on main lesson as there is say, land work. This allows the children the chance to explore within themselves. My children can be painfully shy but they are each coming out of their shells and growing in confidence at a daily rate - this is 100% down to the way Michael Hall teaches and holds the children.\nOur children and us as parents are extremely happy with the school.\nThere is a lot of warmth felt from all staff not just the class teachers (who are incredibly approachable and always at hand to listen or answer questions).

reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"2 years ago","rating":5,"text":{"text":"I have 3 children at Michael Hall, all 3 are thriving both personally and educationally. The children are held, encouraged and supported so beautifully right from kindergarten all the way up. The wonderful thing about Michael Hall is that the children are allowed to grow at their own pace, without pressure or competition, that there is just as much importance placed on main lesson as there is say, land work. This allows the children the chance to explore within themselves. My children can be painfully shy but they are each coming out of their shells and growing in confidence at a daily rate - this is 100% down to the way Michael Hall teaches and holds the children.\nOur children and us as parents are extremely happy with the school.\nThere is a lot of warmth felt from all staff not just the class teachers (who are incredibly approachable and always at hand to listen or answer questions). I recommend the school to all that I can.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"I have 3 children at Michael Hall, all 3 are thriving both personally and educationally.

Michael Hall does not flaunt its exam results as it measures its success in many different ways but don't be fooled by the fact that there is an equal emphasis on the value of crafts, art and drama - academically capable students get to top universities including Oxbridge, armed with many skills as well as their academic achievements. The education gives space for students to get to know what interests them and take their talents in these directions whether it be sciences, drama, music, architecture, farming, working with adults with special needs, furniture design to name but a few. Our children have chosen to stay at the school right through to the end of A levels because of the supportive social environment that is built by the parallel Steiner curriculum and because they are happy and fulfilled.
