Brookes UK is one of Suffolk’s most distinctive independent day and boarding schools for children aged 2 to 16. We run Cherry Trees Montessori nursery, a Lower School and Senior School for students up to year 11. We are located in Risby, just outside the market town of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, UK. We are one of seven dynamic schools that are part of the global Brookes Education Group.
Brookes is different to most schools in the area as we operate an inclusive entrance policy which brings unparalleled diversity into the classroom. There’s no entrance exam nor any tick-box criteria – we assess every child based on our ability to help them unlock their potential. Our local students therefore get to share learning experiences with boarders from around the world. We have children with a range of learning differences and educational needs who are supported to do their best by their peers.
This kind of diversity helps to enhance each child’s development – our small class sizes, tailored approach, close-knit family environment and culture of wellbeing truly sets us apart from other independent schools. And we don’t have a grand mansion or ostentatious grounds to maintain – our 7-acre campus is simply and honestly designed to deliver the best environment for learning.
