St Bees School’s Lockdown Success
Making a quick leap to online learning in March, the students and staff of St Bees School haven’t been in the same building for almost six months – but it hasn’t stopped them going from strength to strength during the lockdown period.
Whereas many schools found the forced closures difficult to implement the curriculum to their pupils, the cohort at St Bees School took to the online classroom with ease. Staff and students worked together seamlessly to ensure that the unique fusion curriculum at the school was followed and could succeed.
Headmaster, Roger Sinnett, is delighted at how well the staff and students adapted to this new way of learning and is impressed at the dedication displayed to keep the students learning during a very turbulent time:
“We wanted to ensure that there was no disruption and made the leap to online learning straight away. It was vital for us to create some form of normality during these worrisome times and one of the benefits has been the opportunity for students to take learning into their own hands.
In addition to successful online learning, the school has seen a huge increase in admission rates, with numbers for September tripling. With over 50 students joining from all over the world, St Bees is leading the way with a solid educational offering.
Head of Admissions, Ceara Hayden said: “We are delighted lockdown hasn’t put a stop to our admissions process and I am proud that every single student we have coming here in September is strong and ambitious. It is going to be an amazing start to the year after a rocky last term.”
The school continues to excel and admissions are already open for the 21/22 school year. St Bees focuses on small class sizes, made-to-measure education and a strong mentoring programme. As such, demand is high and waiting lists are already being drawn up.
