If you want a place for a child in the school or after school club from September 2010, please register by accessing forms via our website www.brighton-montessori.org.uk and then emailing forms back to info@brighton-montessori.org.uk or posting to
Brighton & Hove Montessori School, Admissions, 67 Stanford Avenue, Brighton BN1 6FB.
We will confirm places after 15th August on a first come first served basis. Visits and meetings will be arranged as soon as term restarts on 2nd September.
Montessori State funded campaign support and enquiries can be made via the website and will be responded to as soon as possible.
We will have a “pop up Montessori classroom” at the Brunswick Festival on 21st and 22nd August and would welcome your support at that event.
If you need transport to and from the school and you live in Hove, please contact info@brighton-montessori.org.uk to register your interest for September. We are looking at a “Kiss and Ride” bus scheme to bring children from a single point in Hove to the school for 9am and return them to Hove at the end of the school day at 3pm
The School
The Brighton and Hove Montessori School was established in 1985 and provides an individualised Montessori education to boys and girls aged two to eleven years.
Our small class sizes enable children to excel within a small and homely yet stimulating environment. Our friendly and experienced teachers facilitate your child’s education and enable learning opportunities within the Montessori classroom and further afield. We work closely with you, the parents, to maximise your child’s potential, thus laying the foundations for your child’s life as an independent, confident individual and a responsible citizen.
The key advantages of a Montessori education are:
- Nurtures independent thinking and learning.
- Small class sizes and experienced staff enable excellence in every child
- Expansion and enrichment on National Curriculum at each key stage
- Evaluation of progress without testing
- Promotion of respect for self, community and environment
All our members of teaching staff are fully qualified and hold appropriate Montessori and Early Years qualifications. We are registered with Association Montessori Internationale (UK) and Montessori Education UK and we adhere to the authentic principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, educator and philosopher.
Parent Feedback
When deciding what nursery and schooling would be best for our little boy, we looked around at Montessori, as well as local schools. However, we didn’t really know too much about Montessori so we decided to read up on what they offer. From looking into research about Montessori I was really impressed that this different more "child centric" approach seemed to give better academic results as well as help to build a foundation of good social skills. This drove me to attend an open evening, which is where I met Daisy and some of the other teachers.
Meeting the people behind the school was really what finalised the decision to choose Montessori. They are so passionate about the development of each individual child that this comes out in every conversation, newsletter and meeting. Oliver started over a year ago as a Mini Monte at the age of two and absolutely loves it (so much so that he gets upset on a Saturday morning when he doesn’t need to go!). We too are enjoying our interactions with the school and enjoy supporting the Montessori approach in the home environment.
My advice to parents looking for schooling would be to not only do your research, but also meet those people in person who will have such a huge impact on your child’s life. In fact I challenge you to find any teachers or carers out there who are more passionate and caring than those at Brighton & Hove Montessori!
