St Bees School occupies a central position within the Full Circle family of schools in the UK and China, operating a unique West meets East fusion education model. The school is set in a beautiful 16th century building in the heart of St Bees, a picturesque coastal village on the edge of the Lake District.
The present Head is to take up the post of Director of Education for Full Circle, and St Bees UK seeks to appoint a new Head who can continue to develop its pioneering vision.
The headship at St Bees is a very different role to a traditional headship. The successful candidate will find a school whose systems, structures, philosophy and vision are well established within a well-defined, future-oriented framework. The incoming Head will play a substantive role in taking St Bees into the wider community through focused representation, building local, national and international networks, establishing partnerships and celebrating the school’s successes.
In its mission to prepare students with the skills and understandings required for success in an ever-more globalised world, St Bees School has taken on a remit which differs markedly from that of a traditional independent school. A first-time visitor to the St Bees School immediately gains a sense of the positive ethos which exists amongst students and staff alike, making the school a truly fine place to work.
