Key highlights

Inclusive & Oversubscribed: We admit every pupil without regard to ability, background, or need, and frequently experience high demand—especially in secondary—though we ensure seamless transitions from our primary phase.(maharishischool.com)

Consciousness-based Education (CbE): This unique approach places the ‘knower’—the pupil—at the heart of learning, enriched through Transcendental Meditation (TM) and the "Word of Wisdom" to build greater focus, emotional resilience, and self-awareness.(maharishischool.com)

Beautiful, Well-Equipped Campuses: Our secondary phase is conveniently located just half a mile away from the primary site.(maharishischool.com)

Curriculum & Well-being in Balance: We follow the national curriculum within small mixed-ability classes (capped at ~20 pupils), enriched by CbE, healthy lifestyle practices, mindful tech use, core values, and strong personal development support.(maharishischool.com)

Ofsted Praises Our Ethos: Inspectors recognized our ability to foster pupils who are thoughtful, empathetic, articulate, and mature—proving the power of putting spiritual and personal development at the core of everything.(maharishischool.com)
