Bruern Abbey Named as Finalist in Best Schools Awards

We are thrilled to announce that Bruern Abbey has been selected as a Finalist in the Best Learning Support category of the Muddy Stilettos School Awards 2025.

With entries from across the country and a record number of schools taking part this year, the Awards celebrate institutions that are leading the way in holistic, forward-thinking education. To be recognised in such a competitive field is a tremendous honour and a testament to the hard work, passion, and expertise of the entire Bruern team.

As the Muddy Stilettos editorial team put it in their glowing review of the school:
Bruern Abbey School has quite the claim to fame – the UK’s only Independent school with the main goal of helping boys 8-16 years old with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia to pass Common Entrance exams, GCSEs and gain other nationally recognised qualifications. […] Not often I say this but the word ‘glowing’ comes to mind. […] Amazed parents, watch self-esteem and exam results rise.”

We are incredibly proud to be a finalist and grateful to the judges for recognising the work we do here at Bruern.

Bruern's Move to Co-Education

Beginning in September 2026, Bruern Abbey will take an exciting step forward as we begin welcoming girls into our Prep School in Oxfordshire. This marks the start of our transition to a fully co-educational environment, with our Senior School in Buckinghamshire set to welcome girls from September 2027. Learn more here
