The Froebelian School, Horsforth expands

From September, The Froebelian School, Horsforth – one of the North’s leading educational success stories – will welcome all children from the age of two, marking a new chapter in a Froebelian education.

The decision follows over 100 years following a successful model from the age of three.

Headteacher Anna Coulson said: “I am thrilled to announce that after careful consideration and consultation with parents and staff, we will be offering funded places for two-year-olds at our beautiful school. This decision is about making our best even better and opening up the opportunities of Froebelian’s ‘Flying Start’ to even more children.

She continued: “I have always been passionate about early years and provision within the school setting. Over my years in education and as an Early Years inspector, I have been privileged to witness young children with access to amazingly qualified staff and beautiful spaces flourish and be challenged appropriately. This puts Froebelian at the forefront of Prep schools in Leeds and the UK.”

For the families already at Froebelian, it provides an additional resource and recognises the value of exceptional early years education.

Mrs Coulson concluded: “Every child deserves the best start and we will ensure that we provide just that.”

There are 20 funded places available for September 2024, subject to an approval of a material change.
