Dharma Primary School was the first primary school and nursery in Britain to offer an education based on Buddhist values.[1] It celebrated its 20th anniversary[2] in 2015. It was an independent school and nursery based in East Sussex, on the south east coast of England. The 14th Dalai Lama was a patron.[3]
The Dharma Primary School educated around 80 children in a large historic house in Patcham, Brighton.[4] Fees were £2,348 a term in 2015–16.[5] Children of all abilities and backgrounds were eligible to attend. There were generally 10–20 children in each class with a teacher and an assistant.
The school closed in July 2020.
