Admissions to Maharishi School

Maharishi Free School is delighted that you are considering applying for a place for your child. We pride ourselves on offering an educational environment that is both nurturing and academically challenging.

To find out more about the unique benefits of Maharishi School we would encourage you to give us a call and arrange a visit. Our friendly staff will welcome you at our Open days and you are welcome to book onto one of our tours (see dates below) to find out about Consciousness-based Education.

For a guaranteed place in our over-subscribed secondary school, apply for a place in our primary school.

Open Days

Our next Open Day is on Saturday 10 January 2026 from 10am until 12 noon

In order to appreciate the unique practical and philosophical differences inherent in Consciousness-based Education, it is expected that parents/carers either schedule a visit or attend one of the Maharishi Free School open days held throughout the year prior to choosing Maharishi Free School for their child. During this open day, parents will be briefed on these differences including both the School’s and the parents' responsibilities.

Any pupil will be admitted without reference to academic ability or aptitude, race, colour, gender, religion, socio-economic status, ethnicity or national origins.

To book a place at our Open Day in January please visit here.

Summer Open Day will be on Saturday 18th April from 10am until 12 noon

Applying for a Place

Then, there are two main admissions avenues you can take, depending on the age of your child.

For a Reception place, apply through your Local Authority before January 15^th, naming Maharishi School as your first choice School if you wish to maximise your chances of securing a place – we are often oversubscribed. This year Lancashire have entered our name as Lathom Maharishi School.

The following are the links to most local LEA’s:

For a place in any other year group, including Year 7, please complete this application form. If there are no places available in that year, we will place you on our waiting list for inclusion in the admissions process when a place does become available. Maharishi school online application form.
