Sidcot School

Sidcot School is situated in 150 acres of beautiful countryside in North Somerset, close to both Bristol and Bath. Our Equestrian Centre offers a rare combination – a school livery yard in the heart of a thriving co-ed day and boarding school. For students who already ride or want to learn, Sidcot is a popular choice. We pride ourselves on our friendly atmosphere for both beginners and experienced riders.

Our Equestrian team competes at the highest level, winning top places in national competitions. We are affiliated with both the National Schools Equestrian Association (NSEA) and British Showjumping Just for Schools (BSJFS) and have team representation at each level and height across all disciplines, including Dressage, Showjumping, Arena Eventing and Jumping with Style.

Some of our successes include:

• 2022 National Showjumping Champions
• 2021 National Jumping with Style Champions
• 2019 & 2018: BS Just for Schools National Champions
• 2019: Arena Eventing National Champions

For students interested in riding who do not own a horse, we offer a full riding programme with lessons on our School horses. Our Riding Programme teaches the fundamentals of riding, with clear progression and opportunities to develop equine and stable management knowledge.

So, whether you simply want to try horse riding for a bit of fun or aim to take riding more seriously, we can support your ambitions.
