Truly progressive schools in the uk?

[Schoolly777]

I recently did a tour of the Green School in Bali, and I just loved it. I am back in the uk and wondering if there are any truly progressive schools here? (I’m a teacher and dreaming of a new role somewhere doing things in a progressively different way.)

I know about Summerhill, but that didn’t quite excite me like the Green School did.

Any ideas?

Bump!

Atelier 21 in Crawley

In Wales from September the teachers will get to write their own curriculum. I think this is quite progressive.

What in particular did you like about the Green School?

Liberty Woodland School.

I am not 100% sure what you mean by a progressive school as most children make good progress at any school. If you mean non main stream/alternative then these ones might fit the bill?

Frensham Heights School in Surrey is part of the International Progressive Schools Network:

I’m intrigued by this one after looking it up! It looks great.

I'm not sure where Bedales would fit on this spectrum?

^ having looked at some of the other links, I'm not sure it does ^^

What did you like about the school in Bali? The thing is progressive and alternative seem to mean anything that isn't mainstream, so it encompasses a wide spectrum. Here are a few I have heard of that haven't been mentioned. I don't know much about them though.

Wotton House in Gloucestershire Acorn School, also GloucestershireSands School in Devon
