Welcome to Bruern Abbey Senior School
At Bruern Senior, we know that pupils do their best when they are understood as individuals and are encouraged to be themselves. We champion difference, recognising that no two pupils learn, think or develop in the same way, and our size means we can take a truly individual approach.
As any teenager will tell you, the GCSE years can be demanding but the right approach can be transformative. Having opened in 2022, Bruern pupils achieved an outstanding first set of GCSE results in 2025, earning boys places at a range of excellent sixth form options. But we are not standing still: having completed a recent development and expansion of our site and increased the range of academic and professional options open to pupils. Bruern Senior offers the very best of an independent education: high expectations, excellent teaching and a broad, engaging curriculum, combined with the flexibility and insight to support pupils to chase high aspirations. Small class sizes and expert staff allow us to adapt our teaching carefully, ensuring that each pupil is supported, challenged and inspired.
At Bruern, there is no single model of success. Instead, pupils are encouraged to pursue their own ideas, interests and identities within a supportive and purposeful community. We place great emphasis on developing confidence and pursuing individual interests, helping each to recognise their strengths, take intellectual risks, and believe in their ability to succeed.
We are also excited to be opening the Senior School to girls from 2027, an important development that reflects our ambition and our confidence in the Bruern approach.
I hope this introduction gives you a sense of what makes Bruern Abbey Senior School such a distinctive and nurturing place. We would be delighted to welcome you for a visit to our beautiful site to tell you more about what makes us stand out.
