The Swaminarayan School

Students studied the Swaminarayan scriptures and were encouraged to participate in daily prayers as well as Hindu and other religious festivals like Christmas.

The official report said, "The Swaminarayan School enables pupils to obtain excellent standards in their work and to develop outstanding qualities as young people.

Both at GCSE and in the sixth form, pupils benefit from first class curricular arrangements, and from a wide-ranging programme of activities."

"[4] The school was founded in 1991 by Pramukh Swami Maharaj with the aim of promoting Hindu cultures, values, and way of life.

[5] Since its creation, it had been visited by many famous people, including Tony Blair, General Sir Richard Dannatt GCB, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.

At its founding, the school was located on a 3.2 acre area and its initial student body included 315 pupils of ages of 2–17.

For instance, it was a partner in the Football Association's community initiatives to involve more Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students playing and school is a scouting ground for recruiting more talent.

The programme provides a rubric for primary schools across the UK to evaluate and improve the science component in their respective curriculum.

[15] The students were encouraged to take instruction in an instrument in addition to their academic studies through a programme that offered a degree course and diploma in Indian music.
