It has been a great year for Irene and, of course, for us. At the beginning of the year, Irene phoned us crying because of homesickness. At the end of the year Irene cried because she would like to stay one year more in Sidcot. She has improved her English, made friends and she is now more self-confident. All I can say is that this has been a very good experience thanks to Sidcot, your values and your way of doing things.

We were very happy with our Sidcot experience, its practices, its human and spiritual values - the School and the people that make it will be missed. We truly hope it shall remain one of the very bright spots and an anchor in our daughter's life.

I am very very grateful to the entire staff of Sidcot School! You have all made the "adventure" of boarding school an important part of my daughter's life in good and difficult times. My daughter has developed a lot with your help and support.

Pupils throughout the senior school praised their close relationships with their teachers and the focused, creative energy within lessons was a testament to this. Of particular note was the embracing of a culture that makes learning fun, relevant and – importantly – active.

The Quaker values at the heart of the school’s moral compass are powerful and a major draw for parents seeking an education based on empathy and integrity as much as academic excellence.

Sidcot School aims to educate the whole person, to equip students with practical and personal skills alongside their academic qualifications. The teaching staff uses imaginative teaching methods to encourage students to see learning as an exciting, creative journey in which everyone can take part.
