Meet Joe

Upper Sixth day student and Head Boy

I'm Joe Patrick and I have been at Sidcot for 7 years. I am currently studying for the International Baccalaureate diploma that Sidcot offers alongside A Levels. It's a challenge - but great! Last year I was chair of the School Council, and this year I take on the role of Head Boy. I'm incredibly proud to represent Sidcot and am passionate about studying at the school. Sidcot is a Quaker school, and although I'm not a Quaker myself, it makes you appreciate the Quaker values that unite every member of the school - students from all years can seek guidance from those around them; be it fellow students, or staff, and there is a great sense of respect. Sidcot provides an all round education, which means that I have been able to take part in many extra-curricular activities including sports and drama.

This summer I travelled to Kilifi in Kenya with my best friend Matt (Head Boy at the Kings of Wessex School) as we wanted to learn more about the charity organisations that sponsor young people in Africa. We planned how we were going to get there and how we were going to pay for it. We funded the trip by raising money through a sponsored cycle from John O Groats to Lands End and other events. Most of the money was used to sponsor an African student of our age who we met on our trip.

we welcome pupils of all faiths or none
