Rudolf Steiner School Kings Langley: Staff and parents asking for cash so that troubled school can re-open
A group of parents and teachers at Rudolf Steiner School Kings Langley (RSSKL) want to set up a new nursery on the site of the school which shut its doors in June.
Although bosses had managed to re-open the RSSKL nursery in September, that too shut its doors in December.

“The funds will help secure a healthy financial start for the kindergarten and meet the initial shortfall.
“We do not want to run the risk that this important alternative education cannot be provided for financial reasons.” The fundraising page has a target of £5,000, and almost a third of that has been raised so far.
A private company has also been set up for the new nursery.

The company is registered in Covent Garden.
RSSKL is currently not teaching students of any age and exists with a skeleton staff.
The main school closed in June following a number of highly critical Ofsted reports and problems gaining insurance.
The nursery also received a critical Ofsted report in November after the main school had closed. Inspectors rated it as Inadequate, although staff told the Gazette that they thought the rating was unfair.
