Newcombe House is a beautiful stone building, built in 1912 and refurbished in 2024. It is situated behind the Equestrian Centre, next to the Forest School, and surrounded by fields.
"My family's connection to Sidcot is deeply rooted. I have worked here alongside my husband, and as a parent, I've had the privilege of seeing both of my sons attend the School. Sidcot has been an important part of our family life for many years, making it much more than just a place of work, it has truly been at the heart of our family.
I quickly fell in love with boarding at Sidcot and have enjoyed my role as the Matron of School House Girls. I feel a great sense of pride and privilege taking on the role of House Mistress of Newcombe. Not only because of the beautiful building and surroundings but because of the immense trust parents place in me and my wonderful team to take care of their children.
My core focus is to make Newcombe a ‘Home Away From Home.’ As you walk through the doors, students will find a warm and inclusive environment where new friendships are forged, and memories are made. Shared living spaces will be a place for comfort, relaxation, fun, and laughter. As a community of teenage girls, Newcombe offers valuable opportunities for personal growth, and my team and I are here to support every student with Quaker values at the heart of all we do.''
