Bramley Hill School: Abuse
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to support (a) students and (b) parents impacted by reports of abuse at the Bramley Hill School in Surrey.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
Independent Schools are regulated under requirements laid out in the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, and local authorities have no powers to appoint an interim executive board.
The department takes any indication of risk of harm incredibly seriously and does not hesitate to take swift enforcement action, from emergency inspections right through to school closure, where necessary and appropriate. Ofsted inspected Bramley Hill School in 2024. All the Independent School Standards were met.
