The philosopher and educator Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986), one of whose primary concerns was right education, founded Brockwood Park School in 1969. The intentions of the School, stated in Krishnamurti's many public talks and books, can be summarised as follows:

• To educate the whole human being
  
• To explore what freedom and responsibility are in relationship with others and in modern society
  
• To see the possibility of being free from self-centred action and inner conflict
  
• To discover one's own talent and what right
  livelihood means
  
• To encourage excellence in academic studies
  
• To learn the proper care, use and exercise of the body
  
• To appreciate the natural world, seeing our place in it and responsibility for it
  
• To find the clarity that may come from having
  a sense of order and valuing silence.
  

Krishnamurti had a passion for inquiry and the pursuit of truth. His numerous books explore the nature of human consciousness and the possibility of its transformation through inquiry and insight. Krishnamurti engaged in dialogue with many modern thinkers, commentators, politicians and scientists, including Aldous Huxley, Iris Murdoch, Ivan Illich, Bernard Levin, Indira Gandhi, and David Bohm. He maintained that if young people learn to see how they are conditioned by race, nationality, religion, tradition and beliefs, they will discover for themselves how to be fully intelligent human beings.
