Senior School Staff

At Bruern Senior, our team of specialist teachers and school leaders is dedicated to creating a supportive and stimulating learning environment for our boys. With a strong understanding of dyslexia and other learning differences, our staff use their expertise to deliver lessons that are engaging, accessible, and tailored to individual needs.

Every member of our teaching and leadership team plays a crucial role in ensuring that pupils not only achieve academically but also grow in confidence and independence. Through small class sizes, innovative teaching methods, and a nurturing approach, we help each boy reach his full potential.
