We encourage all our children to take full advantage of all the school has to offer as it truly is an inspirational place in which energy and enthusiasm are abundant – in the classroom, on the games fields, in music, art, drama and every other aspect of our rich and diverse school life. All this activity creates a very strong sense of belonging and fellowship among the pupils, and a deep-seated respect for themselves and everything around them. True to the school’s motto, we ensure that our children are given the ‘time and space for a full education’. We nurture and challenge the children recognising that they need to be guided but also be given the freedom to think for themselves and develop the whole person, physically, spiritually and emotionally as well as intellectually. Through this approach, we are able to produce consistently impressive academic results and enjoy an enviable scholarship record with many of our pupils.We would be delighted to tour you around and provide an opportunity for you to meet my colleagues and our pupils.Mangala Vidya Mandira, affiliated to Sri Mangala Shikshana Samiti which was started under the guidance of late Sri Ajith Kumarji, is an educational institution which imparts quality education that is within the reach of every member of society under the guidance of Vidya Bharathi, a national body dedicated to impart value based education.
