We were very happy with our Sidcot experience, its practices, its human and spiritual values - the School and the people that make it will be missed. We truly hope it shall remain one of the very bright spots and an anchor in our daughter's life.

It has been a great year for Irene and, of course, for us. At the beginning of the year, Irene phoned us crying because of homesickness. At the end of the year Irene cried because she would like to stay one year more in Sidcot. She has improved her English, made friends and she is now more self-confident. All I can say is that this has been a very good experience thanks to Sidcot, your values and your way of doing things.

It was a fantastic experience for our son. He has adapted very well, he has made very good friends and everyone has helped to make it possible. He will always remember this year at Sidcot School and all his friends and teachers. We found Sidcot to be a fantastic School in all aspects, including its teaching methods and the teachers' relationships with the pupils, as well as how they motivate them.

Mr Mayans and Mrs Catchot, Spain (Y10)

I came to Sidcot for one year and had many wonderful experiences here. Firstly, I made lots of international friends because students come from all over the world. Also, I learned about different cultures and shared my culture with them. Secondly, I had opportunities from many fantastic teachers. In my history and business classes, my teachers helped me when I couldn't understand difficult words and topics. My art teacher respected my work so much, it gave me a lot of confidence in making different objects. I studied at Sidcot for only one year, but what I learned will stay with me forever. I appreciate my teachers and friends from Sidcot School a lot.

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.

Sidcot Pre-School has been a fantastic experience for my daughter, Grace. From her not wanting to come home after her 2-hour settling in session by saying “I am not finished, Mummy”, to Mrs. Teagle helping her through her worries with swimming and not wanting water in her ear to encouraging her to try new foods and expand what she eats. Every step of the way, Grace has been encouraged, praised, supported and challenged which has helped enable her to have the confidence she has today. I know she will be going into her Reception class with the confidence and resilience Sidcot has helped install in her to make the transition seamless. I could not have asked for a better Pre-School for my daughter.
