St Benedict’s Catholic High School is an 11-18 school, with a well-established Sixth Form (the West Cumbria Sixth Form), incorporating post-16 students from St Benedict’s School, St Joseph’s School in Workington, and also schools in the surrounding area. The school relocated in January 2019 to a brand new £33m Campus which has been specifically designed and built to a high specification. The Campus sees the co-location of St Benedict’s School with our close neighbour, Mayfield Special School, although in a separate area. The Campus has superb community use opportunities and is much-welcomed in the local community. The school’s last Ofsted inspection took place in September 2014 and was judged to be ‘good’ with outstanding features. The school serves a wide catchment area in West Cumbria. It is a true comprehensive school with students of all abilities and diverse backgrounds. The school is open to all, is inclusive, recognises its faith mission and welcomes students who are not Catholic.
