We nurture the individual in a friendly and broad-minded atmosphere, equipping our young people with the life skills to enable them to shape the world in the 21st century.
Pupils leaving Taunton School go on to top universities including Oxbridge. We offer the very successful IB Diploma alongside A-levels and Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Business and in Sport & Exercise Science as well as a Pre-foundation and a Foundation year.
Taunton consists of a caring and experienced Nursery and Pre-Preparatory School, inspiring Preparatory School and an innovative Senior School and International School, which all share the same spacious campus, as well as Taunton School International Middle School which is located in The Grange, a beautiful, traditional manor house close to Taunton School.
Taunton School aspires to offer a complete journey of education and growth to all children and young adults, unearthing and nurturing the talent within every individual. Taunton School believes that education should be thought of as a structure with five pillars – Academic, Pastoral, Co-curricular, Community and Global Outlook – and we challenge our staff to aim for excellence in each of these areas
Taunton School has also been running its own summer schools for more than 20 years and over that time, we have seen the variety of courses on offer expand significantly. We believe there is something for everyone on our summer schools, where we combine the very best quality English teaching with a broad range of exciting and inspirational offerings.
