The Case For Support 
Taunton School owes its existence to the generosity of past and present Old Tauntonians, parents and other supporters. It has a rich tradition of giving, well exemplified by a wonderful campus, due to the benevolence of well-wishers. In recent years however, it has become obvious that fee income cannot support further developments to the fabric of the School and that other sustainable income streams have to be generated to ensure that Taunton School progresses in the years ahead. We cannot stand still and live off our reputation. Competition is at an historic high. The Taunton School Foundation is aimed at creating an environment of continuous giving and support, based upon a model long-established in the United States and now being replicated at most universities and leading independent schools in the UK. The Governors have set the objective of raising £10 million over the remainder of the decade to fund its progressive Development Plan for the School and to create an endowment fund to support bursaries and scholarships. With no capital resources or endowments, Taunton School must succeed in achieving these objectives. Taunton School has developed its vision for the future, supported by a robust strategic plan and is extremely fortunate to have a dedicated team of Governors and Foundation Board members, as well as a first-class Headmaster and management team to oversee its implementation. However, there is an urgent need to support the School and to translate their vision into reality. |
