What we teach

Five values, every Saturday

Lessons follow Sathya Sai Education in Human Values, a programme built on five values that every faith shares. Each week's assembly, story and class takes one value and turns it into something children do.

  1. Pupils listening during an assembly
    1

    Truth

    Being honest with yourself and with others.

    On a Saturday: In October, children explored honesty in thought, word and deed.

  2. Pupils shaping clay together

    Right conduct

    Doing the right thing, even when it is hard.

    On a Saturday: "Right conduct begins with kindness" was our theme in September.

  3. Volunteers and pupils singing together

    Peace

    A calm mind, through quiet sitting and song.

    On a Saturday: Every assembly includes a few minutes of quiet sitting. In October, families filled the hall to pray for world peace.

    Love

    Kindness at home, at school and in the community.

    On a Saturday: Our Easter collection of eggs and sensory toys reached 1,177 children in hospices, foster care and special schools.

  5. Assembly presentation on non-violence

    Non-violence

    Respect for every person and every living thing.

    On a Saturday: Children learned non-violence as taught by the Buddha, and held an assembly on tolerance and respect.

What happens on a Saturday at Sai School?

  1. Arrive and sign in.
  2. Assembly for everyone: prayer, a story, quiet sitting and songs. Older pupils often lead it, and parents are welcome to watch.
  3. Classes in age groups, exploring the week's value through discussion, art, music and drama.
  4. Sharing and wrap-up, then home at 12. Extra classes run until 1pm.

Parents are welcome to join our bhajan and singing class while the children learn.

Why Sai School

Why families choose a free Saturday school built on values

Weekend clubs teach children a skill. A free Saturday school like ours teaches them who they want to be. For 30 years, Sai School of Harrow has given children aged 4 to 14 a calm, friendly morning where kindness, honesty and confidence are practised, not just talked about.

Is it really a free Saturday school?

Yes. There are no fees and no hidden costs. Sai School is registered charity 1089487 (you can check us on the Charity Commission register), every teacher is an unpaid volunteer, and families who are able to give help pay the rent for our hall.

How it fits around other weekend clubs

Classes run from 10am to 12 noon, so there is still time for football, swimming or tuition in the afternoon. Optional extra classes in GCSE Hinduism, 11+ maths, tabla, Vedas, maths and English run until 1pm.

Open to every faith, and none

Our five values are shared by every major faith. Children hear stories from many traditions and mark Diwali, Easter, Remembrance Sunday and Christmas together. Read the questions parents ask, or book a free taster Saturday and see for yourself.

Families often tell us they chose Sai School because it is a free Saturday school that feels like a community. A free Saturday school can also be a place to make friends from other schools across Harrow.
