What Matters When Choosing a School?
Let us tell you a little about what matters to us. Curiosity, simplicity, equality, empathy, personal responsibility, speaking up and being heard. These are all part of the Quaker philosophy that underpins life at Sidcot School.
“At Sidcot we understand how difficult a decision selecting a school can be. We recognise that, just as all children are different, so too are schools. Discover if what matters to us here at Sidcot, is what truly matters to you for your child's education.”
