Learning to make a difference

Education from 3-18

Sidcot is a school which encourages children to make a difference in the world. Where we shine is how our values of truth, respect, openess and tolerance influence the ethos of the school and the children who receive an education here. Sidcot excels in building children's self-esteem by encouraging all their abilities and not just focusing on academic excellence. We believe that, by enabling children to be adventurous in thought and free from negative peer pressure they will develop self-assurance and reach their full potential as rounded individuals. We challenge our students to think with greater depth to reach a better understanding of themselves and the world they live in.

As a non-selective school, we are very proud that we achieve some of the strongest results in the South West, ranking consistently with some of the best selective schools in the area for GCSE, A Level and the IB Diploma.

At Sidcot, every teacher knows the name of every pupil. With one teacher for every ten pupils, and teaching groups of around twelve to twenty, all pupils can receive individual attention from their teachers. READ MORE
