St Bees School Founded in 1583, St Bees School has over four centuries of history and heritage.

A co-educational day and boarding school nestled on the scenic West Coast of Cumbria, offering a nurturing environment where students excel academically and personally. St Bees School is much more than just a private secondary school in the UK; we place a lot of pride on our uniquely developed Fusion Curriculum, which enables our students to leave us both academically successful and well-rounded as a person. We are a school with a noble past… but a trail-blazing future – and that’s what really makes us different.

πŸ“šπŸ“– It’s time to !

Today, our Year 7 students took part in a Guinness World Recordsβ„’ attempt for the most people reading online in a 12-hour period. It is part of the National Year of Reading and included a Zoom meeting with children’s author Frank Cottrell-Boyce.

Unfortunately, we will not find out if the record attempt was successful for another two weeks! πŸ“šπŸ€ž

🌊 Our students have been doing their part by heading to our local St Bees Beach for a beach clean as part of the Outdoor Education activities within GCAS (extracurricular).

Our Year 9–Pre-A students helped to keep our local coastline clean while developing teamwork and a sense of responsibility for the environment. 🌱

πŸ›οΈ Politics beyond the classroom!

*This event was organised externally and did not take place in our school.

George recently had the chance to meet Josh MacAlister MP and find out more about life as a Member of Parliament.

With a growing interest in politics through his experiences at school, including our Debate Club, it was fantastic to see George take that interest.

We’re proud to support our students in exploring their passions and interests. Activities organised independently of school do not represent the views of St Bees School, and we do not endorse any particular political party or position.

Our boarders enjoyed a fantastic trip to Newcastle over the weekend! 🌟

It’s always great to see our boarding programme giving students the chance to get away from school, spend time together and experience somewhere new.

Another great weekend of boarding adventures! πŸ’™

🏐 Senior Girls Volleyball – First Matches of the Season! 🏐

Our Senior Girls Volleyball team played their first two matches of the season this week. With a newly formed team and several new members joining this year, the girls played incredibly well against some experienced opposition.

In their first match against the University of Cumbria, the girls achieved a very respectable score. Although Cumbria took the win this time, it was fantastic to see the team grow in confidence as the match progressed. They became much more assured in their positions and began to show the team play and ability that I know they are capable of.

That confidence really showed in their second game against Carlisle Ladies, with the girls taking a brilliant 25–23 victory!

It was a hard-fought match, and I was so proud of the way they battled for every ball, supported each other and set up some fantastic attacks.

🌟 Player of the Match was Sofia, who has improved so much this year and produced some perfect sets for our hitters.

πŸ‘ A big shout-out also goes to our Captain, Sasha, who kept the team morale high throughout both games and encouraged everyone from start to finish.

A fantastic start to the season with so much potential still to come. Well done, girls, we are very proud of you all! 🏐πŸ’ͺ
