Find Your Exceptional

At our Nursery, we are renowned for our excellence in Early Years Education for those aged 0-4 years.

We are a happy and thriving community where plenty of time is spent enjoying fresh air in our recently developed playground and allotment, reading books in our new woodland library, and sleeping in our recently refurbished baby rooms. It is here the foundations are laid for the start of your child’s journey into an exceptional education.

Our Pre-Prep, for children aged 4-7 years, offers a safe and vibrant environment where every child can feel secure and happy, with the freedom to explore.

We offer a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment where our specialist staff look after the needs of each individual child. We encourage children to be creative, curious, and confident.

Our motto is ‘Be Kind, Be Keen’.

Our Prep School is home to 330 boys and girls between 7 and 13 with a happy boarding community of around 50.

Dedicated staff, strong pastoral care and brilliant facilities sum up our Prep School. A place where we encourage and support students to explore their passions to Find their Exceptional.

Our ethos is centered around ‘The TPS Way’: we aim high and try our best, we are active learners and curious, we try new things & embrace challenges, and we are humble & we are kind. Most students progress through to Senior School, which starts in Year 9.

At Taunton Senior School, whilst we are proudly ambitious for all of our students, their wellbeing is at the heart of all we do.

We offer excellent facilities, outstanding pastoral care, and exceptional academic and co-curricular opportunities. We are a thriving and vibrant school offering an exceptional education every day. Many of our students progress to our Sixth Form, which starts in Year 12.
