Job overview
Located just over an hour from London and 15 minutes from Oxford, Bruern Abbey is the only preparatory school in the country to have as its main purpose the preparation of boys with learning difficulties for Common Entrance to mainstream independent senior schools.
During the past several years Bruern Abbey pupils have successfully gained entry to a wide variety of these schools, including Eton, Marlborough, Rugby, Stowe, Shrewsbury, Bryanston, Charterhouse and Bradfield. Bruern was Tatler’s Prep School of the Year in 2014/2015 and currently expanding.
Bruern School Life - what's similar and what’s different
Bruern places great emphasis on experiencing all that prep school life has to offer; specialist teaching should not mean missing out on all the fun. At Bruern we make every effort, despite our somewhat diminutive size, to give the boys an action-packed time – be it musical, theatrical, cultural or sporting.
Bruern has a few fundamental differences, which allow our boys to succeed at Common Entrance and be ready for life beyond
- We have twice as many English and Maths lessons as a standard prep school would for all our Junior School boys, and there are two teachers in each class for these key subjects
- Reading is taught as a distinct curriculum subject
- Lap-tops are used in most lessons
- All classes have ten pupils or fewer – allowing boys more individual attention in class

Bruern Abbey is a unique family of two schools that provide specialist education and pastoral support exclusively for boys diagnosed with dyslexia, dyspraxia or other learning difficulties. Owing to the successes of Bruern Abbey Prep School, well-established as the only mainstream prep school in the country that caters exclusively for boys diagnosed with learning difficulties, Bruern Abbey Senior School launched in September 2022 on an impressive site in Chilton, Buckinghamshire, a 20-minute drive from Bruern Abbey Prep School.
Bruern Senior is committed to providing a tailored education in inspiring surroundings and maintains high expectations for all boys’ academic futures. Bespoke and expert teaching coupled with a broad appreciation of the value of an all-round education enhances boys’ self-esteem thereby creating an atmosphere conducive to success. Like Bruern Prep, Bruern Senior caters exclusively for boys diagnosed with learning difficulties, maintaining its firmly held belief that learning difficulties should not preclude academic success.
