I was thrilled to receive my BTEC Sport result of D*D after 2 very enjoyable years studying. The sports team at Sidcot are very supportive, and I outperformed
my expectations with their help and guidance. The structure of the BTEC was well-suited to my learning strengths, and I am looking forward to moving on to
my first choice of university to study Physiotherapy. Thank you, Sidcot.

Joining Sidcot for Year 10 was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed by both my teachers and the boarding staff, who were always there with kindness, encouragement, and support whenever I needed it. That care really helped me settle in and build confidence in myself. Compared to what I was used to in Hong Kong, I found the teaching at Sidcot to be much more engaging and supportive of independent thinking, which suited me so much better. It allowed me to explore subjects I enjoy and realise what I’m really capable of, I ended up achieving grades that were even higher than I’d hoped for. Now I’m looking forward to starting my degree in International Relations and Business Management at Queen Mary University of London. I’m so grateful to Sidcot for giving me a place to grow, feel at home, and succeed.

I joined this school in Year 8 and have loved it ever since. The atmosphere and community that exists at Sidcot is amazing, and I know I have benefted hugely from it. While the last two years of IB have certainly not been the easiest, I am still really glad I chose the course. I was able to continue studying Drama and a language, alongside everything I needed to get into university, which has made the many stressful coursework deadlines a little more worth it!
I was incredibly pleased to have received 40 IB points, more than enough to get into my frst-place choice of Medicine at Bristol; a course I feel my time at Sidcot, and especially the last two years, has set me up well for. Thank you to all the teachers and classmates who helped me get here.

I’m incredibly happy to have achieved the A Level results needed to be able accept my offer to study Spanish and French at the University of Cambridge. Although I’ve only been at Sidcot for two years, the incredible support from both staff and students has shaped my academic journey. From serving as Charity and Events Offcer to taking part in Model United Nations, I could not have done it without Sidcot! I want to give an enormous thanks to my teachers: Mrs Bowen and Mrs Fielder for inspiring a love of History; Celine and Dr Harbridge for their kindness and dedication in French; and my three incredible Spanish teachers — Mrs Winchester-Snell, Mr Weidner, and of course Gemma — for their constant encouragement and support. I owe a very special thank you to Mrs Pike for her dedication, guidance, and incredible support with my university application. While I’m so excited to begin this next chapter, I will never forget the friendship and sense of community I’ve found here at Sidcot and congratulations to all my fellow Year 13 students on your fantastic results!

I’m delighted that I’ve achieved the results to take up my place to study Chemistry at the University of Warwick! Joining Sidcot for Sixth Form was one of the best decisions I’ve made — in just two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Head Student and experiencing incredible personal growth. I’m deeply grateful for the support and encouragement I’ve received from all my teachers, across every subject, as well as the teachers who didn’t directly teach me, but also made an impact on my Sidcot experience. Mrs Pike, our Head of Careers’ guidance has been invaluable, and I’m grateful she supported me in fguring out what course I should apply for. I’m excited for the future and all that lies ahead, and I look forward to returning to visit Sidcot again soon!
