Staff
Our staff enjoy the unique international community and environment of Michael Hall School, that aims to create a culture of mutual respect, tolerance and fraternity. We are committed to continuing professional development of all our staff and to training new teachers.
The Teachers at Michael Hall School are responsible for delivering the Steiner Waldorf curriculum to the students, guiding the children to investigate core subjects such as language, history, maths, science and geography through creativity and imagination. They aim to:
- Clearly communicate with students, colleagues and parents
- Commit to each student individually, throughout their years of school
- Create lively, interactive lesson plans
- Push themselves to grow and constantly question their teaching methods
- Push beyond their comfort zones
- Think outside the box
- Inspire their students to keep progressing
Our Administration team works together to support the teachers, and the maintenance and kitchen staff work to ensure a smooth functioning of daily operations of the School.
Nick Delfas
Co Vice Chair of Trustees
Nick has been a parent at Michael Hall for nearly 20 years, with three children graduating from Class 12 after completing their full journey at the school. He previously served as a trustee from 2010 to 2013.
Nick brings 30 years’ experience in financial services in the City of London, including senior roles in equity analysis at Morgan Stanley and Rothschild & Co Redburn, where he led a department of over 100 professionals. He now heads the investor relations team at a major FTSE100 company, with deep knowledge of governance processes at board level.
Inspired by the Waldorf commitment to fostering “free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives” (R. Steiner), Nick values how this ethos has shaped pupils’ growth over the years. He lives locally with his wife Sarah and their youngest child. In his spare time, he enjoys pruning fruit trees and keeping bees.
