Sidcot School is an independent fee-paying school associated with the Religious Society of Friends.
The school is based in the Mendip Hills near the village of Winscombe and caters for children between the ages of 3 and 18.
The majority of its 400 pupils board on the grounds in one of the 5 boarding houses. The girls houses are Newcombe and School House Girls, and the boys are Combe, School House Boys and Wing House.
Although still officially a Quaker School most pupils come from a variety of different faiths and cultures including a large number of Chinese pupils. Pupils are still expected to join in with a short Meeting for Worship every Wednesday morning instead of assembly.
The Uniform is prodeminantly Navy blue, with a striped blue and white shirt and the school symbol, a ship, on the blazers and jumpers. Sixth Formers at the school are allowed to wear smart clothes of their own choice.
Many past pupils and teachers are members of the Sidcot old scholars association.
