What Matters When Choosing a School?
As a leading private school in Somerset, we provide everything your child needs to thrive both academically and personally. Rooted in our Quaker Philosophy, curiosity, equality, empathy, sustainability, and responsibility, shape everything we do.
These values help us to nurture confident, compassionate young individuals who aren't afraid to pursue their passions and make a difference in the world. Because what matters most is discovering an education that enables your child to become their best self.
“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.”
