Beatrice Ensor
Encyclopedia
Beatrice Ensor was a theosophical
educationist, pedagogue, co-founder of the New Education Fellowship (later World Education Fellowship)http://www.wef-international.org/ and editor of the journal Education for the New Erahttp://www.wef-international.org/publications.php.
Born in Marseille
on 11 August 1885, Beatrice Nina Frederica de Normann was the eldest child of Albert Edward de Normann and Irene Matilda (née Wood). Her father was in the shipping business and her early years were spent in Marseille
and Genoa
, hence her fluency in Italian and French. She was greatly influenced by a theosophical book that a visitor to her home had left. This led in 1908 to her joining the Theosophical Society
, which came to play an important part in her life. She had two brothers - Sir Eric de Normann (K. B. E., C. B) and Albert Wilfred Noel de Normann ("Bill").
Coming to England to complete her education, she trained as a domestic science teacher and for a short while taught the subject at a college in Sheffield
. This led to her being appointed Inspector of women’s and girls’ education by Glamorgan County Council. She became disenchanted with the regimented and passive teaching she saw but when she inspected a Montessori school in Cheltenham
, she became very interested in the ideas of Maria Montessori
http://www.montessori-ami.org/ who she met and corresponded with. She attended a conference in East Runton
in 1914 organised by the New Ideals in Education group; the topic of the conference was 'The Montessori Method in Education'. She was a vegetarian and anti vivisectionist.
she was appointed by the Board of Education as H. M. Inspector of domestic science in South West England based in Bath. But she found civil service work uncongenial and, having played a major part in founding the Theosophical Fraternity in Education, she was invited to become Organising Secretary of the Theosophical Education Trust in 1915. In this role one of her main tasks was the consolidation of the Society’s educational work at Letchworth Garden City into St Christopher Schoolhttp://www.stchris.co.uk/, which was co-educational and boarding, with Isabel King as its Headmistress. One of the teachers at the school for a while was V. K. Krishna Menonhttp://www.tkminstitute.org/. She worked closely for a time with George Arundale
who became the President of the Theosophical Society Adyar
.
In 1917 she married Robert Weld Ensor, of Northern Irish/English descent, who had served in the Canadian North West Mounted Police http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ and was then a Captain in the Canadian Army coming to England and then going on the Murmansk Expedition . It was theosophy that brought them together. They had one son, Michael, born in 1919. Annie Besant
, Curuppumullage Jinarajadasa
and Harold Baillie-Weaver were his godparents.
and returned with the first party. For this she was awarded a medal by the Hungarian Red Cross http://www.ifrc.org/address/hu.asp. But a more enduring role to her Theosophical role was the production, with A. S. Neill
for a time as joint editor, of the Journal Education for the New Erahttp://www.neweraineducation.co.uk/, which still flourishes some 85 years later. Co-operating magazines in French and German followed edited by Adolphe Ferrière

on the ‘Creative Self-Expression of the Child’, with attendance of over 100. Although this was inspired by theosophists anxious to prevent another world war, what emerged was the New (later World) Education Fellowship http://www.wef-international.org/, an entirely non-political and non-sectarian forum for new ideas in education. It was not to advocate any particular method but to ‘seek to find the thread of truth in all methods’. It still has active sections in some 20 countries. Beatrice Ensor, together with the editors of the other two journals, formed the initial organising committee of the N.E.F., which held international conferences at two yearly intervals, presided over by distinguished educationists and pedagogues.
The second conference of 1923 was held in Montreux
, Switzerland
and there she met Professor Carl Jung
whom she invited to speak at a meeting in London (where she introduced him to H G Wells), Emile Jacques-Dalcroze, Professor Franz Cizek
and Alfred Adler
.
In 1929 the conference was held in Kronborg Castle
, Helsingör, Denmark and amongst the delegates and speakers were Maria Montessori
, Rabindranath Tagore
, Jean Piaget
, Kurt Lewin
, Adolphe Ferrière

Other conferences were held at Locarno
(1927), Cheltenham
and Heidelberg
(1925),
She was a member of the Education Advisory Committee of the Labour Party for a short while but her utopian views clashed with those of R. H. Tawney
and resigned her position.

, from Montessori to university entrance level, for which Mrs. Edith Douglas-Hamilton (one of the Wills tobacco heiresses) provided the capital. Some of the St Christopher staff and children moved to Frensham to form its nucleus. However, two years later, Mrs. Douglas-Hamilton died unexpectedly without having established the financial independence of the school that she had intended. The dramatic change produced a situation where Beatrice Ensor and Isabel King did not feel they could work. They both left but the break was without bitterness and they both remained on the board of governors for several years.
in 1926 and 1928, speaking on new movements in education in Boston
, New York
, Detroit, and Chicago
. She was also one of an educational group that was invited to tour Poland
and visited South Africa
in 1927 and 1929.
Her husband had moved to Louterwater in South Africa
where he acquired a large farm in a little developed valley, recently found to be suitable for the growing of deciduous fruit. The orchards he planted were just beginning to bear by 1933 when he died. This meant that Beatrice had to move to South Africa and take over the farm. This greatly restricted her educational work. She was one of a group invited to lecture in Australia
in 1937, where she was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Western Australia
, Perth
. She helped the South African section of the N.E.F. and financed and had built on her farm a school for mixed race children, for whom no provision existed in the area.
When it became clear that her son would be pursuing a civil service career, just as her brothers had done, and did not want to take on the farm she sold it and moved to a house on the coast at Keurboomstrand
near Plettenberg Bay
. But when her family were settled in England she moved there to be with her grandchildren, living first at Blackheath
, then in London
, at Dolphin Square
, where she died in 1974.
