"> The Bruern boys break stereotypes, each is an individual and not a label, they all find their own strengths here and are subsequently empowered; the acceptance of others, the in-it-together spirit and resilience is contagious.

"> The honesty and open-door policy is totally refreshing. Communication, face to face is welcomed and any reasonable support/measure is discussed and met with a plan. What other school actively opens the door to high-maintenance parents?! In short, this creates trust and total reassurance, which is a huge relief and in contrast to trying to fight a system that doesn’t work for your child. The boys’ communication is extremely important, they have daily form time with form teachers, they can confide in and be heard and the teachers will always have time to iron out any worries.

"> The perfect mix of learning, nurturing and fun are at the centre of Bruern Abbey’s ‘free range boy.’ At Bruern you don’t have to choose between happiness and academics they have plenty of both, BA builds back up the boys' confidence and self-esteem, which in turn provides astonishing academic changes and results in, for us, a relatively short amount of time. It is a wonderful place of different thinkers, where boys can be boys, no one is singled out and differences are normalised.

"> This is a superb school! The unique help it gives dyslexics is second to none, and its ethos and culture really are wonderful.

"> Bruern is a wonderful and bespoke school. Tailored to each child with professionalism and creates amazing results. It’s a breath of fresh air in its unconventional approach and eccentric rituals. My child has hugely benefited and quite literally turned his life around.
