Sidcot School Equestrian Centre, Winscombe, North Somerset

As on of our new schools, Sidcot School in North Somerset has an outstanding reputation in equestrian sport. The Sidcot School Equestrian Centre offers a rare combination – a school livery yard, highly commended by BHS, in the heart of a thriving co-ed day and boarding school. For students who already ride, or who want to learn, Sidcot is a popular choice, as we pride ourselves on our friendly atmosphere for both beginners and experienced riders alike.

Keen riders, who own their own horse, will be encouraged to Join the Sidcot Equestrian Team. This gives students the opportunity to take part in lessons and clinics and team training in a wide range of disciplines. There are regular opportunities to compete both locally and at national events and we are very proud of the recent success of the Sidcot Team
