The Swaminarayan School
Opposite the Mandir is The Swaminarayan School, Europe’s first independent Hindu school. Founded in 1992 by Pramukh Swami Maharaj, it follows the National Curriculum while promoting aspects of Hinduism and Hindu culture, such as dance, music and language. The school was formerly known as Sladebrook High School which closed down in 1990.
The 2007 GCSE results placed the school fourth among all independent schools in the country.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates. The moment I felt sure I had everything under control would invariably be the moment right before the principal called to report that one of my sons had just driven somebody’s motorcycle through the high school gymnasium.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
