Find Your Exceptional
Welcome to
Taunton School
A very warm welcome to the Taunton School website. Our purpose is to enable each child to embrace their individuality, explore their passions and develop into confident, well-rounded adults ready to make a positive impact on the world.
Our school rests on four key pillars: a culture of ambition, a mindset for life, a sense of belonging and a global community. Three key values are espoused by all students and staff: humility, engagement and kindness. Our community is aspirational yet unpretentious. We seek to develop quiet self-confidence in our pupils, with no hint of arrogance. We encourage all students to engage fully with the range of opportunities available to them and, above all, we ask them to look after one another.
Please enjoy browsing our website and do take the opportunity to come and visit us. We look forward to welcoming you.
