Charles Hedley (FN 58-64) writes: St Bees - revisited (2025).
“On Wednesday May 14th we three Hedley brothers (Robert, FS 50-56, David, FN 52-57, and Charles, FN 58-64) arrived at St Bees. With us were Ann (David’s wife) and Gill (Charles’ wife). This was in response to an invitation from Pam Rumney to have lunch in the Foundation dining room, followed by a tour of the school. We were made so welcome by everyone: Pam, David Lord (who used to be Fred when he was at school!), Tony Reeve, and the acting Headmaster, Andrew Keep. The Foundation dining room remains the same (except – what happened to the harmonium?), but all the rooms upstairs and downstairs have been changed to meet the needs of the school today. Big Dorm has changed beyond all recognition!
Tony took us on an extensive tour including the chapel, library, swimming pool, sports hall, and he made sure that we saw everything we wanted to. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, and he certainly went the extra mile for us. It was a very interesting day and special thanks must go to Pam, who organised everything for us. We are so appreciative of the kindnesses shown to us by everyone during our visit. The weather was at its best, ensuring that we had a thoroughly enjoyable time back at St Bees. A memorable day indeed!”
