Visit Sidcot School

We know how important it is to visit a school before applying for a place, and we’re always happy to welcome prospective parents and students at Sidcot.

Located in the heart of Somerset, our independent school for day students and Boarders is surrounded by stunning scenery and we’re extremely proud of our state-of-the-art facilities, which we’d love to show you around.

We host regular open mornings throughout the year, where visitors can speak to teachers and current students, and enjoy a tour of our facilities and grounds, taking in classrooms, Boarding houses, and our Equestrian Centre.

Sidcot School Open Mornings

Open Mornings provide a chance to visit the Junior and/or Senior School. You can explore the campus, see the facilities, meet students, parents and staff, and get a feel for the unique Sidcot atmosphere. We have one Open Morning each term.

Book A Private School Tour

If you can’t attend our next Sidcot open day, we can arrange a personal tour of Sidcot at a time that better suits your requirements. During a private school tour of Sidcot, you’ll be shown around by a current student, and will have the chance to see some lessons, our fantastic facilities, speak to members of staff, and perhaps even chat with the Head. A personal tour is a great chance to see Sidcot for yourself to help with your application process.
