Founded to foster a nurturing, homely environment, the school frequently utilises local green spaces and community facilities to deliver a bespoke and inclusive learning experience.

Selectivity:

SEND Requirement

Hove Micro-School is an independent specialist provider that selects pupils based on their special educational needs rather than academic performance. The school primarily caters for children with autism spectrum disorder, pathological demand avoidance, and emotional-based school avoidance. The admissions process typically involves a consultation to determine if the school's small-scale, personalised environment is an appropriate fit for the applicant's requirements, and many places are allocated via local authority referrals for students with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan.
