Drive Preparatory School

Drive Preparatory School is an independent co-educational institution located in Hove, Brighton and Hove, catering to a small cohort of 35 pupils with a capacity for 80. The school aims to provide a nurturing environment that resembles a family home, promoting a sense of community among students and staff. The ethos emphasizes individualised education tailored to each child's needs, fostering qualities essential for positive citizenship in British society.

The curriculum follows the National Curriculum, with all students expected to take GCSEs in their final year. Teachers are equipped to deliver lessons to at least GCSE standard, allowing for flexibility in teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles. The school focuses on preparing students for future life, anticipating shifts in work environments and the importance of adaptability and continuous learning.

Currently, the school is facing challenges following a recent Ofsted inspection that led to its closure. The leadership is seeking an organization with a similar ethos to take over the premises, which are fully equipped and well-located.
