The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) commissioned a research project to explore Steiner school education in England and investigate the commonalities and differences between Steiner schools and schools in the maintained sector. This was in response to recent developments in the maintained sector promoting freedom to excel through innovation, collaboration and sharing, as well as broadening educational opportunities and choice through diversity of provision. The results of the project are intended to inform Government policy in England and help enhance co-operation and mutual learning between Steiner and mainstream schooling.
