Our premise is ‘character is key’, and we are recruiting students who can take advantage of the opportunities we offer to develop their academic attainment in balance with their character attributes, creating a rounded education with a global horizon. St Bees students will become team-workers, leaders, independent learners, confident public speakers, well organised and, above all, mature. They will share their education with young people from many different countries, learning how to be global citizens and understanding how to manage in an international world. At St Bees we have a vision which will prepare our students for tomorrow’s world, where we identify and develop the skills and competencies they will need in 10-15 years’ time. No other school in the area is doing this. In this respect, St Bees is unique. With a richer mix of students from other countries as from September, the St Bees advantage will be even more pronounced.
