An International Boarding School

At Sidcot, we are truly an international boarding school at heart. We welcome students of more than 30 different nationalities to live adventurously, and learn together at our School. 

Our long-term experience with such a diverse community means that our staff are accustomed to welcoming students from overseas. We do everything we can to help them settle in happily and quickly, and feel at ease with school life. Our international school students can join us as day pupils or boarders, or choose a flexible boarding option from Year 7 onwards.
