Ilkley: In the Footsteps of Rudolf Steiner
Résumé
Rudolf Steiner presented the Ilkley Conference on Waldorf Education at Ilkley from the 4th-18th August, 1923. He promised his audience: “I shall try to show what Anthroposophy has to say on the subject of education and describe the attempt already made in the Waldorf School at Stuttgart to apply the educational principles arising out of Anthroposophy”. In the first of thirteen lectures, Rudolf Steiner told his audience: “We have gathered together in a beautiful spot in the North of England … You have given up your summer recreation … I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the fact that you have dedicated your holidays to the study of ideas for the good of the future”. The aspiration of the Ilkley Conference was that: “as a result of the conference it is hoped to start in this country a school on the lines of the Waldorf School”. One report stated boldly: “a day school on the lines of the Waldorf School is to be founded in England next year”. Michael Hall School, now at Forest Row, (originally The New School), was founded in 1925.
