About Bruern Abbey School
Bruern Abbey | About Us Share page Bruern Abbey is an inclusive and ambitious mainstream, independent school for neurodiverse pupils. The school is based across two sites.
From September 2026, we are pleased to be welcoming girls to Bruern Abbey Prep School, followed by our Senior School in September 2027. You can read about our move to co-education here .
At both schools, we offer weekly boarding (Monday to Friday) as well as day places and flexi-boarding. Many families arrive at Bruern having not previously considered boarding. Initially, pupils board out of geographical necessity. After a little while, though, they end up thoroughly enjoying their boarding experience. Our pastoral care is exceptional. Staff are patient, caring and trained to support all of our pupils. We firmly believe that happiness and the ability to make significant academic progress are intertwined.
