Jasmine and Joshua had some very challenging times at their previous schools, but since coming to Sidcot in Year 8, they have absolutely thrived, are so happy, and truly love their school.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for all the support and kindness received from all the staff members throughout my time at school. I truly cherished every moment, both in class and boarding, especially under the care of the most wonderful houseparents. It has been a memorable and enriching journey.

We've been so impressed with Sidcot Pre-School so far! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with kind staff and friendly faces that immediately make you feel welcome. The environment is calm and nurturing, perfect for little ones starting their learning journey.

The facilities are fantastic, with an amazing swimming pool and lots of outdoor space for children to explore and enjoy. Lunchtime offers a great variety of food, and there's a wide range of fun, engaging activities that keep the children happy and stimulated.

What really stands out is how all-inclusive and well-rounded the experience is. It truly feels like an enjoyable place to be, for both the children and their families. We're really looking forward to watching our boys grow and thrive during their time here.

Learning in the Junior School is often characterised by calm concentration and at other times by a lively enthusiasm for learning. Students of all ages listen to teachers and to each other to excellent effect. They work co-operatively very successfully.

The Quaker values at the heart of the school’s moral compass are powerful and a major draw for parents seeking an education based on empathy and integrity as much as academic excellence.
