“In 20 years of visiting schools this writer had never heard so many plaudits about the quality of care” – GSG review 2022
We are incredibly proud of our school, the students, and the staff, so when this is recognised by external judges and organisations, it becomes an indication of our excellence. Taunton School has been shortlisted and won a number of awards over the recent years, as well as receiving outstanding reviews from independent directories, like the Good Schools Guide.

We were recently inspected in the Spring term of 23-24.
We are delighted to have been praised in particular for the extraordinary breadth of opportunity provided for all. Inspectors highlighted our leading co-curricular programme as a ‘significant strength’. This is the highest accolade available to schools under the new inspection regime and we understand that only a small percentage of schools will be awarded a ‘significant strength’.
We are delighted to have external validation for what we know to be true of Taunton School, where, in the words of the report, we ‘show a deep understanding of how to unearth the potential of each child.’ In short, we enable children to find their version of ‘exceptional’.
