Sibford School

[EduCativ]

Sibford School is a co-educational, independent school for children aged 3-18. With a large campus and a wide range of facilities available to our pupils, we offer small class sizes alongside a diverse education that builds a strong foundation for learning while encouraging our students to learn about themselves and the world around them. Sibford School’s Quaker ethos has underpinned all policies and practices since the school was founded in 1842, and is expressed today through the following aims:

• To create and maintain a culture in which all members of the community can be themselves, developing confidence, self-esteem, and tolerance by ensuring a secure setting in which they feel valued and respected.
• To enable every pupil to recognize and acknowledge his or her talents and to help each one realize his or her full potential.
• To meet the needs of our pupils, be they educational or pastoral.
• To provide our pupils with a thirst for lifelong learning and an active concern for their immediate environment and the wider community.
• To welcome parents into a partnership embracing trust, understanding, and mutual support.

The following values are central to our life as a community here at Sibford School:

• Respect
• Resilience
• Relationships
• Responsibility
• Reflection

There is something very special about walking through the doors of Sibford School. When lessons are being taught there is a remarkable sense of calm and peaceful study. However, at all other hours, the sounds of our happy, engaged, and energetic community are very much evident.

Sibford is a family school that is built upon outstanding pastoral care and a values-based approach to education. Small class sizes and strong relationships built upon mutual respect are the bedrock of all that we do. Our intake of pupils is broad inability with some exceptional academic talents and others who might find their talents lie more fully in other areas. Knowing each pupil as well as we do however means that we can support and encourage them to achieve their aspirations whatever these might be.

Although we are primarily a day school we do have a thriving boarding community and offer full, weekly, and Flexi-boarding packages. To this end we offer the best of both worlds: pupils can start their day at 7 am and finish at 6.30 pm should they wish to and, by not having lessons on Saturdays it frees pupils up to take part in activities outside of school – or get involved with one of the many boarder’s activity trips should they wish to.

We are proud to be an inclusive school where the individual matters. We have an outstanding Support for Learning department that teaches some remarkably talented individuals. Our Gifted and Talented and Scholarship programs also encourage and guide our pupils to aspire to great heights.
