Results & Leavers' Destinations

We are very proud of our students at Sidcot.

We accept children with a wide range of strengths and abilities, and every year they delight us with the results that they achieve at GCSE, A Level, BTEC and in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

Extended Project Qualifications 2025

The EPQ, or Extended Project Qualification, offers students the opportunity to produce a project on a topic of their choice and provides the equivalent of half an A Level. Each student will embark on a largely self-directed and self-motivated project taking responsibility for choosing a topic, planning, researching and developing their ideas into a finished product.
