Thank you all soooo much for supporting this petition! This campaign have become more important in recent days as the Secretary of State for Education, Damien Hinds, has instructed Ofsted to conduct a 'thorough review of Steiner ethos' in response to poor Ofsted reports across multiple schools.  We welcome this review as we are confident that Steiner education is proven all over the world to provide educational excellence.  We recognise the need to improve quality in the UK schools and hope this review is fair and thorough in its work.  

For example, this research from Stanford University in America found "significantly higher positive student achievement outcomes on standardized state assessments by Waldorf students, greater engagement and significantly lower disciplinary action and truancy. These results held across the subsets of African American, Latino and socio-economically disadvantaged students. They also accounted for the initial lag owing to the planned Waldorf progression in education."  https://edpolicy.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/publications/scope-report-waldorf-inspired-school.pdf
