Krishna Avanti Primary School is an oversubscribed one-form entry Voluntary Aided School, characterised by its supportive parents, well-behaved children and state of the art building. The school is in its fourth year of formation and opened in 2008 as the UK??s most eco-friendly and first Hindu faith-based state school. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to contribute to the school??s ideals of educational excellence, character formation and spiritual insight.

??The school??s Hindu traditions support fully the ethos of a 21st century British primary school where academic excellence is as important as its religious aura.?? OFSTED Report 2010
