Sidcot Reviews

My child is already a different person, having been at Sidcot for less than a fortnight. We are so impressed with the change in her that results from being in such a positive and nurturing environment. We look forward to watching her flourish even further! We wanted our daughter to enjoy learning and to learn how to learn. I am so grateful to Sidcot for making this a reality.

Last year, I was keen to try flexi boarding to save some early mornings and long commutes from Bristol, and I couldn’t recommend it more! It has not only freed up so much time for me in the evenings to study or try some different activities, but I have also felt really welcomed by a lovely, warm, welcoming community. People whom I now consider close friends from all over the world, I would ordinarily never have had the chance to get to know. I’ve experienced a real sense of fun, freedom and independence in flexi boarding, and I would strongly recommend trying it out!

Sidcot School aims to educate the whole person, to equip students with practical and personal skills alongside their academic qualifications. The teaching staff uses imaginative teaching methods to encourage students to see learning as an exciting, creative journey in which everyone can take part.

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.

I am very very grateful to the entire staff of Sidcot School! You have all made the "adventure" of boarding school an important part of my daughter's life in good and difficult times. My daughter has developed a lot with your help and support.

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.

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.
