It is an independent, non-selective school with 100 pupils, housed in a converted stone farm building. The academic achievements are outstanding and the school was equal top in the league tables for Lancashire and tenth in England last year. The success of the school and the principles of education on which it is based make it an outstanding example of best practice. The Health Centre was established in 1986 and attracts clients from all over the country. Outreach to the wider community occurs through seasonal celebrations, through the school and through conferences and seminars.
Work is underway to establish similar facilities in other regions including London and Sussex.
Many overseas visitors have been inspired to establish elements of it in their own country. The project has made a significant contribution to the local economy. It was designed to be self sustaining, by establishing small businesses which support the growth of the community infrastructure. All funding has been internally generated. The sports and arts centre, an environmentally friendly building, designed according to the principles of Sthapatya Veda, or Vedic architecture, is the first part of the project to receive outside funding.
