We are delighted to welcome Mark Sheehan as lead teacher to our new middle school provision at the Connaught Road site. We will be opening a bespoke 12 place year 7 provision for students with EHCPS. Current year 6 pupils are thinking about uniform and rules, taking part in staff interviews and will also contribute to the curriculum layout. Mark has been busy resourcing the building interviewing staff, meeting new students ready for the start in September. We are confident this will be an excellent addition to Central Hub Brighton.

A Huge Thank you
On Friday 21st June Kim, Dell and Amanda completed the epic marathon walk from Bognor Regis to Brighton to raise money for a new minibus for the students at Central Hub Brighton. Joined by other staff and students along the way they raised enough money for a new minibus and hopefully to also fix the old one. This is an amazing achievement by the staff, demonstrating their determination to improve the lives of all the students who attend the provision, enhancing their experience both in the community and further afield. Well done to all of you.
We would just like to say a huge thank you to every single person who has donated or shared our page, you have helped up reach our target and we will forever be thankful
Minibus fundraiser – we need your support
On Friday the 21st June the Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils and staff are setting off on a day trip to raise money for a new school minibus. Kim, Del and Mandy, who are TAs and a maths teacher, are going to walk from Bognor Pier to Brighton Pier!! 26 miles in one go!
The pupils and rest of the staff are meeting them at three points along the way in order to support the walkers. Pupils will join the walk for some of the way.
Variety, the children’s charity, are helping us fundraise and will contribute to the final cost of a minibus. We have a £5000 target!!
Please contribute to our fundraiser, but as importantly, SHARE the link to all your friends and families and local businesses. Thanks very much!

School Ofsted Inspection 26/03/2024
Dear parent or carer
Inspection of Central Hub Brighton by Ofsted
We have just told your child’s school that we will inspect it on 26 March 2024. The lead inspector will be Gary Tostevin. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school. Please take a few minutes to read the leaflet that came with this letter. It explains why we inspect schools and what happens during an inspection.
Your views about the school are important to us
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted’s online survey, Ofsted Parent View, at: https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.
Ofsted Parent View asks for your opinion on some aspects of your child’s school, including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child’s school. Written comments can also be sent to the school in a sealed envelope, marked confidential and addressed to the inspection team.
To register your views, you will need to provide your email address, which will be held securely. It will not be used for any purpose other than providing access to the online survey. Neither schools nor Ofsted will have access to any email addresses.
Please complete the online survey by 11am on 26 March 2024 as this will give the inspection team more time to consider your views. However, we will consider all online responses that are completed during the inspection, although the free-text box facility will not be available after noon on 27 March 2024.
Speaking to an inspector
If you are unable to complete the online survey, it may be possible to speak to an inspector during the inspection, for instance at the start of the school day, or to pass on messages to the inspectors if you are unable to speak to them in person. Inspection administrators will be happy to make the necessary arrangements. If concerns are raised about child protection, we may have to pass the information we receive to social services or the police. You can contact the administrators on 03000130976. Inspectors will be pleased to receive your comments, but cannot deal with complaints about individual pupils or settle disputes between you and the school.
Gathering personal information on inspection
Inspectors will gather any personal information necessary to assist them in inspecting a school. Our privacy policy sets out what personal information we collect, what we do with it, how long we keep it and individuals’ rights under data protection legislation. The contact details for Ofsted’s Data Protection Officer are: Email – informationrequest@ofsted.gov.uk; Post – Information management team, Ofsted, 2 Rivergate, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6EH.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the online survey.
Yours faithfully
Abdi Omar
Inspection support administrator
