AN OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNORS OF ST BEES SCHOOL
On March 13th 2015 you announced your intention to close St Bees School with
the loss of around 150 jobs, with 300 children having to seek their education
elsewhere at unacceptably short notice and with no impact assessment on the
local and wider community.
You also took this action under a cloak of secrecy - without consulting with staff,
a legal requirement under the Employment Act, without consulting with the
charity’s stakeholders, contrary to Charities Commission Guidance 2010,
without attempting any effective fundraising and without proper consideration
of credible attempts to keep the school open, again contrary to the Charities
Commission Guidance 2010 where closure is noted as being the last resort.
The School’s objectives include "other associated activities for the benefit of the
community". As of today you still have not formally notified representatives of
the Community such as the Parish Council Committee, Local or County councils
or the former MP of your decision to close nor have you consulted with them.
Instead what you did was mislead stakeholders and the Rescue Team in terms of
the timing of the EGM, in respect of your comments about the finances and the
markets and in not giving access to vital information to the Rescue Team as you
indicated you would do. Instead it seems that your efforts were to ignore or
delay the rescue attempts, not only by the Rescue Team but also several other
options including a free school, Keswick merger and international schools.
Whilst the Rescue Team and others were finding a way to keep the school open,
you were hastily terminating contracts of employment and supply and rushing to
sign over the pupils to other schools, making rescue harder.
You did not undertake any impact assessment of the consequences of your
actions on others. As a direct result you have motivated parents, alumni and
members of the community to demand your resignation and to complain to the
regulator, the Charities Commission. The Charities Commission have
consequently launched an investigation into your actions, actions which have
severely damaged the school's reputation and damaged the wider reputation of
charities as consultative bodies.
We now demand the board of Governors resign with immediate effect.
This letter is accompanied by a petition, which supports our demand for your
resignations, signed by over 1,000 people representing parents, alumni, pupils
and the wider community.
Quite simply, as Governors you have lost the trust and confidence placed in you
"We aim for continued provision of education
on St Bees School site under a new. more
transparent governing body which is engaged
with the local community."
Save St Bees School Campaign,
St. Bees,
Cumbria.
by the school's stakeholders and your position has become untenable.
In addition, in the interest of openness and transparency, we would request you
answer the following questions:
Firstly, why there was no serious consideration given by the board to the options
for keeping the school open, especially given the Rescue Team and the Society of
Old St Beghians managing to secure a £2m funding package?
Secondly, even though it was apparent from the 2013 accounts that the school
was making losses, why did you continue to increase the level of bursaries and
invest in facilities and infrastructure instead of reducing overheads and
undertaking effective fundraising?
Thirdly, how much is the closure of the school costing? Considering the cost of
the termination of employment contracts, enhanced severances for employees to
waive their rights, the costs of advisors including a consultant brought in
specifically to close the school, the employment of a PR company and lawyers
fees to sue a parent for using a publicly available photograph on his Facebook
site in support of the school. The significant financial loss you have created will
damage the charity severely.
We are now demanding a new set of Governors are installed in order to give full
and fair consideration of the future of St Bees School. This new board will engage
with all stakeholders to find a way of keeping the school open and retaining its
future as a centre for education excellence - whatever form that may take.
Your behaviour has been shameful; reminiscent of some sort of 'secret society'.
We suggest that in order to retain some semblance of dignity, as a Board, you
resign with immediate effect and let others who are more engaged with
stakeholders take your place.
Save St Bees School Campaign and over 1000 others.

It no longer appears that the Governors of this school have been dealing with
anyone in good faith. The attempts to undermine the negotiations and the halfhearted excuses regarding stability and ' for the good of the students' no longer
rings true.
They governors should resign immediately and allow individuals in which the
majority can have confidence in that negotiations are being held with integrity.

The decision to close the school, despite the money being available to retain

able to make decisions based on their own circumstances as to whether they
are prepared to take that risk. The Rescue Team should be given the

There has been neglect since the year 2000. Senior managerial ructions were
stewarded with woeful inadequacy. Letters to the chair were unanswered. The
governors remained remote making little or no attempt to enter, spend time in,
and understand the school that should have been their sacred trust. They knew
few of the members of staff by name, visited infrequently, and were regarded
as a joke by the majority of my colleagues, because of their lack of interest in

The Board of Governors have mismanaged the school's affairs to reach this
point. A dedicated and professionally minded rescue team has mobilised and
drawn up a short term plan, which could allow time for the development and
implementation of a long term solution. There is no guarantee of success, but
rejecting the plan gives only the option of failure. If the governors are not
prepared to work to save the school they must step aside and allow more
dedicated individuals to opportunity to do so.

It is clear that the governors considered no serious attempt to save the school.
Their announcement was timed to allow very little time for supporters to rally

considered. Once word was out, stakeholders rushed to save the school -- and
they are unwilling to work with them. I attended the school for only one year as

offering a way forward subject to rescindment. What reason was there to say
no? There wasn't one. By their behaviour throughout this process, how can we

more commonly know as the legendary Mr Bean, it is a massive shame that
the school has to go through such a terrible thing especially with such fantastic
alumni being produced every year. My school (Chetwynde) went through a very
similar situation and we were in serious amounts of trouble, but with the right
support we pulled through. Never give up on something that means a great

The school was clear about the financial challenges it faced, but did not

have done both, in a short time, and demonstrated their credibility. They

My husband and I are parents of a 4th Form student and we were fully
prepared to assume the "risk" associated with the Rescue Team's welldeveloped business plan. It appears that the governors were aware of the
problem for the past couple of years so why did they let new families like
ourselves enrol our children in Sept 2014? How is closing the school
immediately better for our son who will now encounter a major disruption to his
GCSE studies? Our children's well-being has NOT played a part in the
governors' decision; current parents were completely unaware of this situation
and their help/advice to overcome it was never solicited!

The school should definitely remain open with a new set of govenors who are

school work again. Windermere St Annes School had similar problems a few
years ago, and with a new chair of govenors and governing team they pulled
the school back from the brink to be a very successful school again. A new
Chair with endless drive and excellent business awareness is now required
urgently by St Bees

were not expected to affect the medium or long term strategy of the school.
Less than a year later school closure announced due to dwindling pupil
numbers despite 7 months earlier it being stated that St Bees school was
"bucking the national trend" for falling pupil numbers. A full 32 page rescue
plan formulated in less than a month by key business personnel. Plan included
viable long term future for the school with support from many other parties.
Plan rejected by governors and letter sent to parents to reaffirm closure of
school during meeting between governors and rescue team. As trustees of the

the school and village have lost trust in them owing to the lack of consultation

before issuing the closure notice; to their failure to solicit let alone to follow up
on such offers of support as that from Keswick School; to the disrespect with
which they treated the Rescue Group, to their rejection of its highly
professional, pragmatic and practicable rescue proposal; and to the
scaremongering tone and singularly tendentious character of their subsequent
self-justificatory press release. The Governors should recognise that the
school’s best interests are not well served by infighting and costly legal
disputes. They should now make good on the Chairman’s offer to stand aside
so as to promote the Foundation’s successful future development.

I'm a governor at another school and appalled that St Bee's governors have not
listened to reason.

I'm signing because I believe it is vital to preserve this historical educational
institution for the whole of West Cumbria. I am also a friend of parents with
children there and I fully support their amazing efforts to protect their children's
right to continue their education at St Bees School

I or my family could never go to this school but these Governors have obviously
failed in their duty of care. How did they get the job.

I have never seen such a shambolic demonstration of incompetence and poor
governance in my life. I and my wife have supported this school for over twenty
years. Staff, pupils, parents, Old St Beghians and an occasional unpire all
deserve better.

governors have handled the school closure. Many parents have made great
sacrifices to have their children educated in a private school. The children don't
deserve to be treated like this .

432 years of tradition cannot be given up because carrying on is 'difficult'. The
governors appear to want the school to close having made minimal efforts to
save it. St Bees is a good school, the only one of that education sector in the
area.

The Governors of St Bees School have demonstrated, only too clearly, their
