Hindu School Praised

Brent's leading school for Hindus has been described as outstanding by independent school assessors.
The Swaminarayan School, in Brentfield Road, Neasden, was commended in a recent inspection and judged to provide all of its pupils with a " well-rounded educational experience of high quality."
In summing up the school, officers from the Independent Schools Inspectorate, said: "Academic standards are high overall when compared to those found nationally and the quality of pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding.
"The leadership of the school is outstanding and its management at each level and in both schools is very effective. It is very well supported by a highly qualified body of teaching staff who in turn are ably assisted by a committed team of administrative and ancillary staff."
The school was founded in 1992 and provides mainstream education while reinforcing Hindu culture and tradition for children aged two and a half to eighteen years. It was the first Hindu-only school in the UK.
The Head teacher Mahendra Savjani said, "Although we know that we are an excellent school with high standards and brilliant examination results, I am delighted to have the endorsement from a team of ten highly experienced inspectors who spent a week in the school.
"The credit for this success goes to our teamwork - committed and dedicated staff supported by governors, hardworking pupils and parents who recognise the value of education."
