Wynstones School in Gloucester learned this week that it will not have to teach to some of the early learning goals for communication, language and literacy and ICT.
The school had applied for exemptions or modifications to goals that conflict with the Steiner Waldorf approach.
The school for children up to 18 has two kindergartens for three-to six-year-olds, which are funded by parents and do not receive local authority funding for the early years entitlement.
