Providing a safe, secure, and fun environment is our main priority in Thone, our Prep boarding house. Taunton School is warm, welcoming, and progressive. Pupils from varied backgrounds and cultures all feel at home in a community founded upon core values, including kindness and humility.
Our recently refurbished boarding house in the Prep School is home to 55 full-time boarders, plus a number of weekly and flexi-boarders. Boys and girls from 7 to 13 years old live happily together in one of our main school buildings in the heart of the school.
The large majority of our full-time boarders stay in school during weekends. On Saturday mornings, all pupils in Years 7 and 8 (including day pupils) have lessons, whilst over half of our boarding pupils in Years 3 to 6 choose to come into school for exciting enrichment activities. For the rest of the weekend, boarders enjoy matches against other schools, downtime, trips into town, a varied range of organised activities, and, on Sundays, there is always a fun trip out of school to a local attraction.
