prizes, gained membership of the National Association of Gifted

Since
Maharishi School started entering pupils for GCSE examinations
in 1990, the following cumulative figures are particularly
noteworthy.
The percentage of GCSE passes at grades A or A* at Maharishi
School since 1990 is 39.1%, while nationally the figure is
14% over the same period (for all those years when national
figures are available.)
The
percentage at grades A-C from pupils at Maharishi School since
1990 is 87.3%, nationally the figure is 54.2%.
The
percentage of pupils at Maharishi School gaining 5 or more
passes at grade C or above since 1990 is 89%, while the figure
nationally is 44.6%.
In
conclusion, pupils at Maharishi School pass examinations at
grades A or A* at almost 3 times the national rate. Passes
at grades A to C are almost 60% higher than the national average
while the percentage of pupils passing 5 or more GCSE examinations
at grades A*-C is double the national average rate.
In
2006, 100% of pupils gained 5 or more passes at grade C or
above with 58% of the passes being at grades A or A*.
In
2007, students at Maharishi School were delighted to find
that they had all achieved 5+ or more passes at grade C or
above. 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%.
