About

Wishing you all a very warm welcome to St Bees School. An introduction by Mr Laurence Gribble, Interim Headmaster. At St Bees School, we are constantly striving to identify the needs of tomorrow's world, and prepare our students, from ages 11-18, to meet these challenges with confidence. What skills and competencies will our students require for the world of 2032?

Many of the jobs they will be doing have not yet been invented. At St Bees, we give them the skills to not only achieve, but to excel in an ever-changing world. St Bees is where West meets East . China is a rising star in the economic firmament and an enterprise superpower.

Our twin-campus approach between St Bees UK and St Bees China aims to develop a free-flow of students between the two campuses, united through their shared curriculum.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
