School Events
Here we hope to share an overview of our key school events which happen year on year. This allows parents to see when residential visits occur for example and swimming lessons. We hope that you find this information useful. The newsletter page will give you advance notice of upcoming events and if you wish to look back through previous newsletters, you will also see pictures and blurbs relating to prior events.
*Please note: due to Covid some events have been amended and will continue to be tweaked in order to give all children a similar experience throughout their Sidbury journey.
