What we offer ? Sixth Form Pupils typically choose four subjects to study at AS Level in the Lower Sixth Form and three of these are usually continued into the Upper Sixth Form leading to three A Levels although we seek to tailor the curriculum to the needs of each individual pupil.
The following choice of subjects is available for study in the 6th Form to A Level:
Art, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Economics, English, Literature, French, Further Mathematics, Geography, History, Information Technology, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education Physics, Spanish.
Pupils in the lower sixth all do games twice a week and will also study a non-examined programme consisting of Cookery for One, Presentation & Public Speaking and Personal Finance. The aim of this programme is to help equip pupils with additional skills and knowledge that will help both in the preparation for University life, but also entering the world of work.
Pupils in the Upper Sixth will also study an examined course in A Level General Studies. For pupils whose English is not their first language we provide tuition in preparation for IELTS (International English Language Testing System). The majority of St. Bees pupils leave to go to University (either directly or after taking a Gap Year) studying a wide range of subjects ranging from traditional courses such as Veterinary Medicine, Medicine, Engineering, Geography, English and Law through to Languages, Management, and Sports based courses.
