St Bees School is offering a 30 per cent fee remission scholarship to one Year 7 pupil from September 2027.

St Bees School is inviting applications for its Full Circle Scholarship, which offers 30 per cent fee remission for one Year 7 entrant in September 2027. The award recognises academic excellence, leadership and emotional intelligence, and is open to pupils currently in Year 6.

Applicants must submit a 500-word essay on the question 'What is bravery?' and take part in an interview with headmaster Laurence Gribble. He said the scholarship recognises 'both who a student is and who they have the potential to become', and that a Full Circle Scholar should embody the school's values including a 'give it a go' attitude and willingness to encourage others.

The current Full Circle Scholar, Seb, who began Year 7 in September, said he was grateful for the opportunity. His parents described his first weeks at the school as fantastic. Applications close on 31 October.
