A Cumbrian school is set to offer a scholarship with up to 90 per cent fee reduction for exceptional students.

St Bees School, located in the historic village of St Bees, is launching its Sixth Form Scholarship, aimed at attracting top talent in academics, sports, and the arts by making a 'world-class' education more accessible.

The scholarship is open to external students entering Year 12 who have demonstrated outstanding abilities in their respective fields.

Successful candidates will benefit from fee remission of up to 90 per cent, providing a significant reduction in the financial burden of education.

In addition to this, they will gain access to a lively Sixth Form community, leadership opportunities, and a host of extracurricular activities designed to help them thrive.

The school is keen to highlight its 'unique' offerings, which set it apart from other educational institutions.

These include small class sizes that allow for personalised attention and tailored academic pathways, individualised mentoring for each student, and a Fusion Curriculum that promotes a global perspective.

The school's headmaster, Mr Andrew Keep, said: "Our Fusion Curriculum is a hallmark of what makes St Bees unique.

"We focus on developing the whole individual—academically, emotionally and socially.

"We combine the best of traditional British education with forward-thinking methodologies to create well-rounded, confident, and globally aware students."

The school also boasts 'state-of-the-art' facilities, including sports fields and modern creative spaces, providing students with a wide range of opportunities to pursue their passions.

It offers both day and boarding options, with the boarding experience designed to create a sense of family and belonging.

A strong pastoral care team supports all students, whether day or boarding, ensuring a warm, supportive community focused on personal growth and excellence.

Applications for the Sixth Form Scholarship are now open.

The selection process includes an interview and a review of the student's academic and extracurricular achievements.

Due to the high demand, the school has advised prospective students to get in touch with the admissions team as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
