Sports

Sports are played competitively with a spirit of sportsmanship at Sidcot.  Sport is one of the many activities that contribute to our students’ personal development.  The sports facilities and staff at Sidcot ensure that each pupil can improve personal and team performances.

The main sports are: netball, hockey and rugby in the autumn term; netball and football in the spring term; tennis, rounders, cricket and athletics in the summer term. All-year-round sports include swimming, squash, basketball and table-tennis within our sports centre. We have regular fixtures with other local independent and maintained schools.

The School’s sporting facilities include 20 acres of playing fields, a large pavilion and changing rooms, four all-weather and three short tennis courts. There is also a stunning 25m indoor swimming pool, a sports hall, a squash court and a ‘multi-gym’. The Equestrian centre facilities have recently been extended and now benefits from Pony Club status, enabling the centre to offer a superbly comprehensive programme of activities.

The high standards of the sporting achievement at Sidcot are illustrated by the fact that we regularly produce players for District and County school teams, notwithstanding Sidcot’s relatively small size.

Other sporting activities at Sidcot include water sports, caving, dry slope skiing, backpacking, golf among many others.
