Welcome to The Sibfordian, the annual magazine of Sibford School. This issue looks back on just a small selection of the many events that have taken place during the 2016/17 academic year. It would be impossible to cover everything that goes on, but we hope that it at least provides a snapshot of life at Sibford. This past year has been a very special


one for Sibford as it has marked the 175th anniversary of the school being founded. We hope you enjoy some of the memories we have shared.


In friendship
