"Sidcot taught me to 'live adventurously', from boarding far from home and performing on stage to pivoting into software engineering. The best careers aren't always straightforward; follow your curiosity wherever it leads!" Kenrick, Class of 2015, 43/45 IB Score

At Sidcot, we have a long track record of delivering outstanding IB results, which lead to extraordinary careers. Sarah, Class of 2021, who scored 45/45, was elected Cavendish Seton Scholar at Downing College, Cambridge last year, before embarking on a brand strategy consultancy career in London. IB graduates from 2025 have chosen degrees in Medicine, PPE, Psychology and more, at various international universities, supported by our first-class Futures department.

Founded in 1699, Sidcot School is an outstanding independent day and boarding school in North Somerset, offering a distinctive education rooted in Quaker values. These principles – integrity, equality, peace, and sustainability – shape a learning environment where curiosity and creativity thrive.

Our students benefit from small class sizes, a welcoming boarding community and exceptional pastoral care at an award-winning school. Beyond academics, Sidcot encourages students to 'live adventurously,' embracing opportunities in the arts, sports (including tailored tennis and basketball programmes), outdoor education (including our own on-site equestrian centre), and global citizenship. With a vibrant international community and a commitment to developing thoughtful, resilient individuals, Sidcot prepares young people not only for academic success but for lives of purpose and impact.

Our IB Diploma Co-ordinator, Dr Dirki Balaska, would be delighted to talk to you about your future opportunities at Sidcot, and answer any questions you might have about studying here.
