Exciting news for Brighton residents! The Hove Micro School, renowned for its exceptional support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), is opening a new site on Carden Avenue. This independent school, which already operates successfully in Manor Hall Road, Southwick, has been granted planning permission to transform a large shared house into a nurturing educational environment.

The school is particularly focused on helping children experiencing emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), pathological demand avoidance (PDA), autism, and anxiety-related needs. With small class sizes, the school offers a personalised approach, ensuring each child receives the attention they deserve.

The decision to open a second site in Brighton was driven by increasing demand from families and councils. Seven local residents expressed their support for the application, sharing heartfelt stories of how the school has positively impacted their families. This expansion is a testament to the school’s dedication to meeting the needs of the community.

The new Carden Avenue site will operate from 8 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday, providing a structured yet flexible schedule for students. Before the school can open its doors, a car park layout plan and secure cycle parking facilities must be approved by the Brighton and Hove City Council.

For those in the area, this new addition is a beacon of hope for families seeking specialised education for their children. If you’re considering a move to Brighton or Hove, this development highlights the community’s commitment to inclusive education. At Sawyer & Co, we understand the importance of finding the right home near quality schools. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking to settle in this vibrant area.
