Our Location

Sidcot School sits on the edge of the village of Winscombe, in the county of Somerset in the South West of England. Sidcot benefits from being situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty whilst being within easy access of two major cultural centres; Bristol (15 miles, or a 30 minute drive) and Bath (25 miles, or under 1 hour drive). The coast at Weston-Super-Mare is just 8 miles away. In this setting, students can enjoy the best of both rural and city life: a peaceful environment in which to concentrate on their studies, and access to the cities and coast for educational opportunities and weekend activities.

Bristol International Airport is only 9 miles away making travel to Europe easy with airlines such as Air France, EasyJet, Flybe, KLM and Ryanair.

London is easily accessible by train and can be reached in 2 hours by car.
