Taunton School is a leading co-educational boarding and day school in the West of England. It is a lively and forward-looking school, set in a beautiful 50 acre site on the northern outskirts of Taunton and offers easy nation-wide rail and road access to London.
Strong academic reputation
We endeavour to bring out the best in pupils - whatever their talents. Classes are small and academic results are excellent - a 98% pass rate with 55% at grades 'A' or 'B'. Mathematics and Science are particularly strong. There is an excellent careers department and 95% of pupils continue to Higher Education. A wide range of Scholarships is available. The Sixth Form is exceptionally lively - it offers 24 'A' levels as well as GNVQ in Leisure and Tourism. For the 230 boarders, the accommodation is excellent - and in all houses there are experienced resident Housestaff and tutors. The quality of the food is outstanding.
Top Class facilities
A lively and innovative staff enjoy teaching in the first class facilities. recreational and sporting facilities are likewise of the highest quality - and there is an unusually wide range of extra-curricular activities on offer; an especially popular feature is the new 25 metre swimming pool. Standards in Music and drama are outstanding both being boosted by the construction of the new centre for the Performing Arts. A number of distinguished performers such as John Dill have recently performed in the new Centre for the pupils.
