At this point, if you would like to visit Taunton School and meet our Academic and Pastoral staff, please let us know and we will make the necessary arrangements.

2. Testing & Interviews

Once you are registered with us, we will invite your child to complete our assessment tests.  The number and type of tests depends on the Year of entry, with more testing required for older students.  This assessment must be invigilated by a third party such as an educational agent, a member of the British Consulate or your child’s current school.

If you are not able to visit Taunton School in person, we will invite your child to attend an online interview, which normally takes around 15 minutes.

3. Offer/Acceptance

After successful completion of the placement tests and interview we will email you an official Offer Letter.  To secure your child’s place, you will need to complete and return the Acceptance form along with the Acceptance deposit by the date specified in the Offer Letter.

Once your child’s place is secure, we will send you all of the information you need to join Taunton School including term dates, fee’s schedule, Parents handbook, guardian policy, Medical indemnity forms and the uniform list.
