The boarding community is central to the rich and diverse environment that is St Bees School.
A dedicated team of boarding staff provides guidance and support to all individuals, enabling each to gain a lifetime of memories.
A busy boarding life ensures constant challenge, opportunity and excitement while still allowing quiet time to rest and reflect. Strong bonds of friendship and spirit unite the community.
Good humour, empathy for others, acceptance, leadership skills and personal resilience are characteristics developed through the boarding experience.
St Bees School has had boarding students for hundreds of years. Boarding today is focused on pastoral care and providing a holistic education outside of normal school hours.
Being a boarder at St Bees means being part of a big family of students and staff. We study, dine and play together, we look after and support each other and we help each other develop as individuals and as a group.
Emphasis is placed on providing a warm, safe, healthy, nurturing and peaceful environment for all boarders. Our experienced and well-supported House team is committed to the wellbeing of each boarder. We ensure constant medical, pastoral and safeguarding provision.
School House, our primary Boarding House, has recently been refurbished and provides modern facilities in a traditional setting. Students are in single, double or triple rooms, and have access to large common areas and kitchen facilities.
Weekend activities provide a change of environment and are designed to enhance the standard school and boarding offering.
Whether you're into canoeing, film nights (with tasty snacks!), Wainwright Walks or even simply heading to a nearby town to explore, weekends are never boring at St Bees School.
