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.
Hannah Carter
Hannah brings a wealth of experience from across the health and education sectors to her role as a trustee. A qualified Occupational Therapist with over 15 years’ experience supporting children aged 0–18 with a wide range of needs, she has worked in diverse settings including mainstream schools, specialist provision, early years environments, and multi-disciplinary educational teams. Her practice is rooted in a deep understanding of child development, and the varying levels of additional support children may require. She has a particular professional interest in sensory integration, neurodevelopment, and the transformative impact of early intervention.
An alumna of Michael Hall herself, having attended from age 3 to 18, Hannah is deeply grateful for the rich and varied education she received. She brings with her not only a lived understanding of Steiner Waldorf pedagogy but also a strong appreciation of the school’s rhythms and the importance of the surrounding community in nurturing children’s growth.
Hannah’s professional strengths include child development, special educational needs (SEN), evidence-based practice, goal setting, staff management and development, and the use of both qualitative and quantitative data to inform service quality and continuous improvement.
She lives locally with her family, and her two children have attended Michael Hall for the past decade. Outside of her professional and trustee roles, Hannah enjoys singing, gardening, spending time in the local countryside with her family, and connecting with friends
