Sidcot Parent, Year 10 (Spain)
Germany Boarder - Student Review in English
My name is Larissa, and I am a 16 year old girl from Germany. This is my first time as a boarder. From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcome here. It is completely different from my old school. My teachers are very kind, they take a lot of time to explain everything and show real interest in me. That is a very positive and new experience for me. I really enjoy the study time in the library, here it is actually enjoyable to study. Everyone is super friendly and was ready to answer any questions I had. In the last couple of days, I have made many friends, because the people at Sidcot are so open to new students. The community is very strong, and I felt comfortable from the start. It's such a great feeling to walk over the campus and be part of this community. I am really looking forward to my upcoming time here.
Sidcot Parents, International Baccalaureate (Germany)
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.
Parents Review IB Student (Belgium)
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.

Nancy, Flexi-Boarding Student
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!
Good Schools Guide (International)
There are solid numbers of international boarders (23 per cent of pupils), which enhance the school with an eclectic international flair and provide a ‘much celebrated, rich cultural environment’ according to parents.
Parent Review ''My child is already a different person..''
Pre-School Parent - gained confidence
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.
