Taunton School

Taunton School is one of South West England’s leading co-educational day and boarding schools for children aged 6 months to 18 years old with 1,290 students. With an ethos rooted in kindness and humility, we celebrate each child, allowing them to explore their passions through a wealth of opportunities, to help them find their exceptional and become well-rounded, confident individuals. Our award-winning international school has been welcoming students of more than 60 nationalities since 1996 affording them the best possible opportunities to develop and flourish in the British education system. With a highly supportive academic and pastoral environment, a diverse range of subjects, and average class sizes of just eight, we provide the perfect platform to progress on to Sixth Form or Undergraduate study with a strong understanding of the English language and UK culture.

International students can enjoy more than 150 clubs and teams, encompassing sports, performing arts, and academic subjects. We also regularly hold social events, house
competitions and activities, and weekend excursions to offer a home-from-home environment and lots of chances to have fun and make friends. Our 56-acre campus is home to a range of facilities, including two swimming pools, various multi-use games areas for a variety of sports, a modern theatre, playing fields, a golf simulator, a state-of-the-art dining room, and a gothic 19th century main building. We are close to the Bristol, Bath and Exeter, and a 1 hour 40-minute train journey from London.

 

Students from military backgrounds are represented in every aspect of Taunton School life, whether on the sports pitches, the stage or in the Combined Cadet Force (CCF). Pastoral care is at the heart of Taunton School, genuinely being one inclusive family made up of day pupils and boarders.
