Is this the most radical educational model in the world?  Yet it still calls itself a school. Sudbury Valley School combines autonomous education with democratic organisation and despite being 50 years old is still at the cutting edge of education today.  In our 90 minute session we’ll explore the main themes of the school’s philosophy, take a look at some videos of life at the school and discuss its similarities and differences to ideas in Home Education.

Presentation with video in the Cinema Tent at AEFES, The Alternative Education Festival. Entry free to those with AEFES tickets, see the AEFES website for details.

With Kezia Cantwell-Wright and Sarah Bowden, founders of East Kent Sudbury School
