Maharishi Free School
About Maharishi Free School
Maharishi Free School is an all-through school in Ormskirk, Lancashire, classified by the DfE as a free school. Around 224 pupils aged 4 to 16 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 10.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. At GCSE, the school's average Attainment 8 score was 54.1, above the national average of 46. On our composite score, Maharishi Free School ranks in the lower half of primary schools nationally for its primary (KS2) results. For its secondary (KS4) results, it ranks among the top 17% of secondary schools in England.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). At Key Stage 4, 55% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. Maharishi Free School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
