Maharishi School students' success continues

When the GCSE* results were released on Thursday, August 23, students at the Maharishi School were delighted to find that they had ALL achieved five or more passes at grade C or above.

In fact, 100% of the passes were at grade C or above compared with a national average of 63%. Even more astonishing is that almost 66% of the passes were at the highest grades of A or A*; this is over 3 times the national figure of 19.5%.

But the Maharishi School is about much more than examination results. A former student of the Maharishi School, Ben Cross, puts it this way, "Following the completion of a BSc (Hons) in Genetics (1st class) at the University of Manchester, I am now reading for a PhD in Biochemistry, conducting research into the biosynthesis of complex proteins.

“I attended the Maharishi School for my entire school life and found the experience to be absolutely life-defining. It is a school unlike any other and provided me with the broad and open-minded education that enabled me to embark on a successful scientific career. More than this however, my time at the Maharishi School helped to frame my appreciation of life and showed me where to look for happiness; I wouldn't change a day of it."
