Brookes UK School Announces Immediate Closure

Brookes UK School Announces Immediate Closure 

It is with deep regret that Brookes UK School announces its permanent closure, effective immediately. Despite the tireless efforts of the school’s leadership team, governors, and staff, the school has declared a state of insolvency and will now enter voluntary liquidation. 

The process will be managed by Hayley Watson and Andrew McTear, Licensed Insolvency Practitioners at McTear Williams & Wood Limited, who have been appointed to oversee the winding down of the school’s affairs.

Brookes UK has been part of the independent school sector for many years, and this decision has not been taken lightly. The school has faced mounting financial pressures, including rising operational costs, reduced enrolment, unpaid fees, and the cumulative impact of wider economic challenges. After exploring every viable option to secure funding and support, the Board concluded that closure was the only responsible course of action. 

“This school has always been more than just a place of learning,” said Mr. David Rose, Director at Brookes Education Group. “It has been a community of committed educators, supportive families, and talented young people. We are devastated to see it close.” 

The Board of Directors would like to extend their sincere thanks to the families, students, staff, and local community for their unwavering support over the years. A dedicated communication line has been set up for any enquiries relating to the school’s closure:
