A rounded academic education rooted in mindfulness – helping children develop creativity, empathy, self-awareness and confidence

Dharma Primary School, in Brighton, is the only primary school in the UK to offer an education based on Buddhist values. We are an independent school open to children aged 3-11 from all religious faiths and cultural backgrounds, providing a quality academic education combined with Buddhist teachings to support the development of mindfulness, compassion and communal responsibility.

“The Dharma Primary School provides a good quality of education where pupils enjoy coming to school and become confident and self-aware…outstanding personal and social development.” – Ofsted 2010

“…educating children with warm hearts and clear heads; children who will one day help to create a more compassionate, intelligent and peaceful world.” – Inspired by the words of our patron His Holiness the Dalai Lama
