Background
History
Ringwood Waldorf School was founded in 1974 by Christine Polyblank after Alex Baum from the Camphill Movement Sheiling School invited her to establish a Waldorf school for the children of the co-workers. The school started with just six pupils in a row of cottages at Folly Farm and quickly expanded, moving into temporary buildings as more families joined. By the late 1980s, the school relocated to its permanent site on Folly Farm Lane, expanding to offer Kindergarten through to Lower School. In 1986, architect and builder Keir Polyblank took responsibility for developing the new school site.
