Head's Welcome

Taunton School is characterised by a restless energy and ambition, unusually coupled with a sense of humility. Our community is aspirational yet unpretentious. We seek to develop a quiet self-confidence in our pupils, with no hint of arrogance. We encourage all students to engage fully with the range of opportunities available to them and, above all, we ask them to look after one another.

Taunton School is one of the South West’s leading co-educational independent schools. Founded in 1847 on a beautiful 56-acre site, Taunton caters for day students and boarders aged 0-18 years. It is a thriving community of five separate schools: a Senior School, a Preparatory School, a Pre-Preparatory, a Nursery and a pioneering International School. With a wealth of academic, sporting and performing arts opportunities, Taunton School nurtures the individual, unearthing potential in every child and creating a mindset for life.

With a rural outlook Taunton School is also within walking distance of the town centre. It is the perfect combination of town and country. With the support of a tight-knit school community students are free to be themselves while growing into independent learners who are curious about the world around them. An ongoing £20 million development plan will ensure Taunton continues to provide facilities which meet the needs of the 21st century student, enabling them to explore talents and develop their passions. A range of bursaries and scholarships are offered to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from what Taunton School has to offer.
