Brighton Steiner School
The school currently offers a full Steiner curriculum from age 3 to age 14. We offer 5 parent
& toddler sessions for children from birth to age 3. Last year we developed an Upper School which commenced September 2001 and educates children up to age 16 and with GCSEs.

Parent and Toddler Groups (0 - 3yrs)
Children from birth come with their parents to play, sing, share a snack and celebrate the festivals of the year in a simple way, appropriate to their age. We try to keep a balance between the needs of small children and the needs of their parents, for whom the Toddler group often provides an important outing in the week to share with their child, as well as the companionship of other adults. It is a wonderful first introduction to Steiner education.

Playgroup (Age 3/4)
Play group is the first step on the bridge. On one side lies the home or Parent/Toddler group, on the other, the world of school, which the child will explore independently in the fullness of time. To cross the bridge children are given the feeling of safety and plenty of warmth and encouragement. The two mornings a week groups are small, with a short morning and simple familiar activities providing the first steps toward the world of school. Sensitive adults are always there to provide a steadying hand if needed.

Kindergarten (4- 6 yrs)
The curriculum offered to the Brighton Steiner School Kindergarten child is structured to respond to and enhance the first seven years of childhood. It is considered vital to preserve and foster the vitality and imagination of the young child and so formal concepts are not taught daring these years. However, the curriculum broadly integrates all subject areas within a day-to-day rhythm and the yearly flow of seasonal changes and major festivals.

After School Care (3 - 7 yrs)
This is available for the children of class I and below.

Lower School
The Lower School caters for children from six to fourteen. The children have the same teacher
from Class I to 8.. This Class Teacher provides the pastoral care during that period and ideally will take the main Lesson and some subject lessons right through the Lower School. As the class gets older an increasing number of subject teachers are introduced.

Upper School (14 - 16 yrs)
We offer a full Steiner curriculum and core GCSE’s
