ASIS View of St Bees

Set in beautiful local sandstone buildings over 400 years old, St Bees School provides an added-value education for children of all academic abilities, including preparing for Oxbridge, and regularly achieves the status of No.1 school in the English north-west region. It has a coastal location, two hours from Manchester but just ten minutes from some of Britain’s most glorious countryside in the Cumbrian Lake District. St Bees was founded by a former Archbishop of Canterbury who wanted to create an atmosphere of academic diligence, similar to Oxford and Cambridge, whilst embodying the gentle Christian approach to friendship and care.

Interested in this School?

 My consultant was very helpful and motivating. She helped me every step of the way, even when the deadline was so close. I feel I could not have done it without her. I'd highly recommend this service to any and all of my many friends interested.
