'One thing I feel really confident about, with regard to what my children will take with them when they leave Lewes New School is a sense that education is empowering and fun. So much fun!'

Early years

'Play is child's work'. The first years at the school, up to the age of 7, are a vitally important time in a child's life - the time when she/he takes the first steps from the security of the family into the outside world. 

We believe children at this stage of development learn best by being actively involved in high-quality play. They need time and space to progress in their thinking, consolidate what they have learned, re-visit and regress at times at their own pace, and follow their interests and enthusiasm. 


  

We aim to give children opportunities to do this in a warm, secure, loving environment that respects the needs of the individual child and fosters their development as a member of the community.

There are currently additional spaces available as we are expanding our Nursery to accommodate the rising demand.
