What to expect from us

Key Stage 1 and 2

Hove Micro-School is a unique educational setting based in a home environment.  All classes are taught by experienced, fully qualified teachers, ensuring a high-quality education tailored to the needs of each child. With small class sizes of no more than eight children, we provide a nurturing and focused learning experience where individual attention is at the heart of everything we do.

​

A core element of our approach is that children help shape their own learning. Every half term, children select topics that interest them, and our team of teachers designs lessons around these themes, incorporating core subjects such as Maths, English, Science, and Humanities. This flexibility ensures that the curriculum is engaging, relevant, and inspiring, while still meeting key educational goals.

​

At Hove Micro-School, we place a strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing. Our small class sizes foster close relationships between children and teachers, creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel valued and confident. This focus on emotional health enables children to thrive both academically and personally.

​

Outdoor learning is a key part of our daily routine. We make full use of our allotment, located just behind the house, where children can engage in hands-on activities such as gardening, plant care, and nature observation. This regular interaction with the natural world reinforces practical learning and encourages a connection to the environment.

​

Our goal is to offer a dynamic, enriching education, with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing and the individual needs of every child.
