Strategic Aims and Objectives 2024 to 2027

Our Vision

Our vision is to prepare every pupil to reach their full potential and attain the knowledge, skills and understanding required for success though our unique system of Consciousness-based Education (CbE). We develop their inner resources through the practice of Word of Wisdom and Transcendental Meditation recognizing that knowledge is structured in consciousness.

CbE is unique to Maharishi School. In addition to the traditional educational emphasis on the ‘known’ (curriculum content) and the ‘process of knowing’ (teaching and learning), central to our educational philosophy is the ‘knower’ (the pupil). By focusing on developing the ‘knower’ through CbE, we tap into our pupils’ potential - rather than trying to cram more and more knowledge into the container, we place emphasis on ‘expanding the container’ to develop creativity and intelligence within each individual.

Strategic Aims

We aim to:

• Support our pupils’ developing consciousness by pupils and staff practising Transcendental Meditation or Word of Wisdom and by following the approach and principles of Consciousness-based Education.
• Cultivate receptivity in students through the development of effective, supportive, and positive relationships between teacher and student.
• Enliven intelligence and its application by: 
  • Linking inner values with outer values in the pursuit of knowledge for a purpose,
  • Developing each student’s ability to discern finer and finer parts in the context of bigger and bigger whole,
  • Helping pupils to look for and recognise universal patterns,
  • Adapting teaching to take account of the individual character of each pupil’s own intelligence.
• Enliven, structure and organise knowledge by: 
  • Teaching knowledge in the context of human purpose,
  • Developing knowledge holistically by connecting everything that is taught to the self of each pupil.
• Enliven, extend and deepen experience by:
  • Integrating knowledge with experience in furtherance of the development of deeper and more complete knowledge,
  • Extending each pupil’s own experience in relation to knowledge taught and in conformity with their own nature through appropriate applications and practical work,
  • Involving all the senses and organs of action in constructing learning experiences – where safe and practical.
• Enliven and enhance expression through: 
  • Encouraging pupil expression at the start of each learning cycle to stimulate the desire for growth,
  • Consolidating learning through the expression of knowledge and skill,
  • Encouraging the expression of fullness of life, through a wide range of expressive modes.
• Promote a growth mindset approach to learning within a safe environment where mistakes are promoted as learning opportunities and pupils are encouraged to support one another through their learning journey.
• Provide equal opportunities for all pupils.
• Keep all pupils safe from physical and emotional harm.
• Provide a broad, balanced and rich curriculum that prepares pupils for modern life.
• Embrace the community and make parents part of our success.
• Create a friendly, happy atmosphere where good behaviour is the norm, children are happy and fulfilled, and attitudes to learning are positive. 
• Achieve the best outcomes for all.
